OR
Use the automatic wireless network connection feature in Windows.
NOTE:
A wireless client computer must be in
infrastructure
mode, so that it can associate with an
AP.
NOTE:
The SSID of the wireless client computer and the SSID of the Access Point must be identical.
Or, in case the
SSID broadcasts
capability of the Access Point is enabled (by default), the SSID of
the wireless client computer could be set to “any”.
NOTE:
Both the wireless client computer and the Access Point must have the same WEP settings for
them to communicate with each other.
NOTE:
For better wireless security, IEEE 802.1x capability of the Access Point must be enabled so
that only authenticated wireless users can access the wireless network.
2.5.2. Configure TCP/IP-Related Settings
Use
Windows Network Control Panel Applet
to change the TCP/IP settings of the client computers,
so that the IP addresses of the client computers and the IP address of the Access Point are in the same
IP subnet.
If a client computer is originally set a static IP address, you can either change its IP address to match
the IP address of the AP, or select an automatically-obtain-an-IP-address option if there is a DHCP
server on the network.
NOTE:
For some versions of Windows, the computer needs to be restarted for the changes of TCP/IP
settings to take effect.
