Appendix A: Troubleshooting

This section provides possible solutions to problems regarding the installation
and operation of the Presentation Player. If you can’t find an answer here, check
the Linksys website at www.linksys.com.

Can I run an application from a remote computer over the wireless net-
work?
This will depend on whether or not the application is designed to be used over
a network. Consult the application’s user guide to determine if it supports oper-
ation over a network.

Can I use the Presentation Player with non-Linksys wireless equipment?
Yes, as long as you use it with wireless equipment that complies with the IEEE
802.11b standard.

What is the IEEE 802.11b standard?
It is the IEEE standard for wireless networks. This standard allows wireless
LAN hardware from different manufacturers to communicate.

The product supports the following IEEE 802.11 functions: 

CSMA/CA plus Acknowledge protocol
