Installation Guide for the NETGEAR 54 Mbps Wireless PC Card WG511 a. On the Windows taskbar click the Start button, and then click Run. b. Assuming the target PC is configured with 192.168.0.1 as its IP address, type ping -t 192.168.0.1 and then click OK. c. This will cause a continuous ping to be sent to the device with the 192.168.0.1 static IP address. The ping response should change to "reply." At this point the connection is established. Note: If you cannot connect, please see the "Basic Troubleshooting Tips" on page 2-20. Also, for problems with accessing network resources, the Windows Client and File and Print Sharing software might not be installed and configured properly on your computers. Please refer to."Preparing Your Computers for TCP/IP Networking" on page C-43. Enabling Wireless Security Features You can strengthen the security of your wireless connection by enabling Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption of the wireless data communications.
