Network Connection Problems
If the Network LED on the CardBus adapter does not light, or if
you cannot 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 are using may be defective. Try to use
another 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,
ensure that you have access rights and a valid ID and password.
• If you cannot access the Internet, ensure that 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 access point that the station is associated with is
powered on.
• Make sure your wireless station is configured with the same
operating radio channel as the access point.
• If you still cannot connect, change the access point and all the
stations within the BSS to another radio channel.
• Make sure the BSSID is the same as the access point for a
station with roaming disabled, or the SSID is the same as the
access point for a station with roaming enabled.
