Network Connection Problems

If the LED on the PCI adapter does not light, or if you Can’t access
any network resources from the computer. Check the following:

• Make sure the correct software driver is installed for your 

operating system. If necessary, try reinstalling the driver.

• Make sure the computer and other network devices are 

receiving power.

• The access point you want to attach to may be defective. Try 

using another SMC2652W access point.

• If you cannot access a Windows or NetWare service on the 

network, check that you have enabled and configured the 
service correctly. If you cannot connect to a particular server, 
be sure that you have access rights and a valid ID and 
password.

• If you cannot access the Internet, be sure you have configured

your system for TCP/IP. 

If your wireless station cannot communicate with a computer in
the Ethernet LAN when configured for Infrastructure mode, check
the following:

• Make sure the SMC2652W access point which the station with is

powered on.

• Make sure your wireless station is configured with the same 

operating radio channel as the SMC2652W.

• If you still can’t connect, change the SMC2652W access point 

and all the stations within the BSS to another radio channel.

• Make sure the BSS ID is the same as the SMC2652W for a 

station with roaming disabled, or the SS ID is the same as the 
SMC2652W for a station with roaming enabled.
