A5 In the case of Windows XP, click Advanced in the [Wireless Network Connection]
dialog box (see p.4-8 'Connecting to an AP') and make sure that 'Use Windows
to configure my wireless network settings' is selected.
This may happen when a third-party wireless network setup program (e.g.

Q6 When connecting to a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network,
I cannot connect to another computer connected to the same
computer-to-computer network.
A1 Make sure that the security settings and network name of the computer-to-com-
puter (Ad Hoc) network is correct.
A2 Check the TCP/IP properties of the computers to be connected through the com-
puter-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network. All of the computers to be connected
through a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network should be configured so that
their IP addresses are within the same subnet range.
If the TCP/IP Settings are configured to DHCP, the address is automatically
configured to an address within the subnet IP range. This will take about 2~3
minutes.
If the IP address is configured to static IP in TCP/IP properties, select
Use the
following IP address
in the TCP/IP properties of the wireless adapter,
configure IP address:10.0.0.1~10.0.0.254, and Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0, and then try again.
A fixed IP is recommended for a small-size network.

A It may happen occasionally when you are using a computer-to-computer (Ad
Hoc) network connection. Even if you cannot find some access points, the
computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network is operating properly. Click

Q8 The network does not operate properly when both the wireless
and the wired network connections are simultaneously
configured with the same IP address.
A You cannot use the wireless and the wired network connections using the same IP
address simultaneously. To use either the wireless or the wired network in turn
