Troubleshooting

Causes and countermeasures for troubles you may encounter while using your wireless LAN are described in the 
following table. 

Problem

Possible Cause

Possible Solution

Unavailable 
network 
connection

Incorrect network 
name (SSID) or 
network key

Ad hoc connection:

 verify that the network names (SSID’s) and network 

keys (WEP) of all computers to be connected have been configured 
correctly. SSID’s and WEP key values must be identical on each machine.

Access Point (Infrastructure) connection:

 set the network name (SSID) 

and network key to the same values as those of the access point. 

Set the Network Authentication value identically to that of the Access 
Point. Please consult your network administrator for this value, if 
necessary. 

For the method of setting network authentication, refer to the following 
pages:· Windows XP: “Assigning parameters” on page 53· 
Windows 2000: “Assigning parameters” on page 59

Poor radio wave 
condition

Ad hoc connection: Retry connection after shortening the distance to 
the destination computer or removing any obstacles for better sight.

Access Point (Infrastructure) connection: Retry connection after short-
ening the distance to the access point or removing any obstacles for 
better sight.

To check the wave condition, refer to the following pages:· Windows 
XP: “Confirming the status of the radio waves” on page 57.· Windows 
2000: “Confirming the status of the radio waves” on page 63

Radio wave 
transmission has 
stopped

Check if the wireless switch is turned ON. Also verify “Disable Radio” is 
not checked in “Network setting” window. Refer to “Starting Transmis-
sion” on page 52.

The computer to be 
connected is turned 
off

Check if the computer to be connected is turned ON.

Active channel 
duplication due to 
multiple wireless 
LAN networks

If there is any other wireless LAN network nearby, change channels to 
avoid active channel duplication. For the method of checking active 
channels, refer to the following pages:· Windows XP: “Confirming the 
status of the radio waves” on page 57· Windows 2000: “Confirming the 
status of the radio waves” on page 63

No right of access to 
the network to be 
connected

Check if you have a right of access to the network to be connected with.

Incorrectly-
performed network 
setting

Check the protocol, work group name or shared setting.

For the method of checking, refer to the following pages:· Windows XP: 
“Connection to the Network” on page 55· Windows 2000: “Connec-
tion to the Network” on page 61

Unmatched 
[Network 
authentication 
(shared mode)] 
settings in Windows 
XP

If the setting of [Network authentication (shared mode)] is not matched 
with that of access point or computer to be connected with, no commu-
nication can be established. Check the parameter setting.Refer to 
“Assigning parameters” on page 53.
