to connect should be the same in all computers. The network name is case
sensitive, if the name contains letters.
A2
If you are using a network key (encryption key), an AP (Access Point) and a
computer-to-computer network (peer-to-peer), you have to use the same network
key. The network key of the AP is configured in the AP management program.
Ask your network administrator for more detailed information.
A3
Check that the device driver is properly installed. If the driver is not properly
installed, you will find a yellow exclamation mark on the network icon by
clicking Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > System >
Hardware tab > Device Manager > Network adapters > Wireless LAN adapter. If
there is a yellow exclamation mark, please reinstall the device driver with the
system software CD.
Q2 The signal strength is excellent, but I cannot connect to the network.
Even if the signal strength is excellent, the network connection may not operate
properly if the TCP/IP properties are not properly configured, or the network key
(encryption key) is incorrect.
A1
Check that the TCP/IP properties are configured properly. When you connect to
an AP, click the Wireless Network Connection icon on the taskbar and select the
Support tab. If the IP is not allocated properly, the IP address will be displayed
as follows. (e.g. 169.254.xxx.xxx)
If the network does not provide DHCP, you have to specify the correct IP address
by asking your network administrator.
Even if the network provides DHCP, the server may not allocate an IP address to
the client properly, and the client station cannot connect to the network.
A2
Referring to A2 of Q1, check that the network key is correct.
Q3 I cannot share an Internet connection.
A1
It may require some time to synchronize the computers to share an Internet
connection after the Internet connection sharing configuration is completed. If
you cannot share Internet connection even after a longer period, restart the
computer.
A2
Check if there is a configured bridge connection between the network adapters.
If there is a configured bridge connection between the network adapters through
the network configuration wizard, remove the network bridge, and reconfigure
the Internet connection sharing.
