Gateway MT3422 Network Guide - Page 12

Networking Your Notebook You are in a wireless network, but no available networks are listed in the Windows XP Wireless Networking utility. ■ If the network you are attempting to access does not broadcast its SSID, you need to request the SSID from the administrator and add that network's information into the wireless utility. ■ You may want to try entering ANY as the SSID, which will make the computer try to auto-detect the network. Your wireless network is listed as a preferred network, but it has an "x" on it. ■ An x means your preferred network is not currently available or you are not currently in range to connect. Internet Explorer is unable to access the Internet. ■ Reset the power on your cable or DSL modem and your access point. This reestablishes communication between your Internet Service Provider and your modem and between your modem and your access point. ■ If you previously accessed the Internet through a dial-up modem, Internet Explorer may not be set up to access the Internet through a network. You cannot see other computers on your network. ■ Your notebook may not have the same workgroup name as the other computers on your network. For more information, see "Naming your computers and workgroup" on page 4. ■ If your notebook was previously connected directly to your cable or DSL modem, and your ISP requires you to use a static IP address, your notebook is not set up to use a DHCP server. You cannot connect to your network. ■ If your notebook is a member of a domain at your workplace, you may not be able to connect your notebook to your home network workgroup to access shared files or printers on your home network. You may, however, be able to access the Internet through your home network. 10 www.gateway.com
