You are in a wireless network, but no available networks are listed in the Connect to a network dialog box • 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. Remove the dial-up connection in the Internet Options in Internet Explorer. You cannot see other computers on your network • Your convertible notebook may not have the same workgroup name as the other computers on your network. For more information, see "Naming the computers and workgroup" in your online User Guide. • If your convertible notebook was previously connected directly to your cable or DSL modem, and your ISP requires you to use a static IP address, your convertible notebook is not set up to use a DHCP server. Modify the network properties so your convertible notebook is set up for using a DHCP server. 115
