Make sure you have selected the correct network name or SSID (Service Set
Identifier).
In Windows XP, check your Wireless Network Connection Properties and
make sure your settings are correct.

If you’re going to use the printer in ad hoc mode, note the IP address of your
computer. (For instructions on viewing a computer’s IP address, see page 56.)
If you’re using infrastructure mode, make sure there is a link with good signal
