7 Troubleshooting
This chapter is intended to help solve any possible problems.
7.1
It is not possible to make a connection
If the computer cannot make a connection with the server or another computer, first
check the following points:
1.
Have the drivers for the Trust CN105W Wireless Network PC-Card been
installed correctly? The drivers cannot be installed if the card is faulty or has
not been inserted into the PCMCIA slot correctly.
2.
Have the settings for the Wireless Network Utility been configured correctly?
3.
Have the correct drivers been selected for the network that you wish to use?
Ask your Network Administrator for more information about the network.
4.
Have the correct values for the type of package and the IP-address been
input?
5.
Has the plug of the network cable been inserted as far as possible into the
Access Point?
6.
Does the network hub work (when using an Access Point)? Try to make a
connection via another workstation which is connected to the same hub.
7.
Does the connection run via a hub (when using an Access Point)? Two
computers cannot be connected directly to each other via a UTP or STP
cable. They can only be connected directly to each other via a ‘Cross-link’
cable
7.2

Windows 2000 / Windows XP
Also see the instruction manual provided with Microsoft Windows for more
information.
Check the following:
1.
Have the NetBEUI protocol and ‘Client for Microsoft networks’ been
installed? Check the network properties. These components are necessary
to make a connection. If necessary, add these components by clicking on
‘Add’.
2.
Has the NetBEUI protocol been bound to the driver for the PC-Card? Select
‘Bindings’ in the ‘Network Properties’ window. This is only necessary if the
connection has been manually broken. This connection is made
automatically in Windows 98 when a new network card is installed.
3.
Do both systems have the same workgroup name? The workgroup name
must be known by the server. If necessary, change the name. Contact the
Network Administrator if you do not know the name of your workgroup. The
