Check the SSID, Turbo mode option,
and WEP encryption settings.
• The access point may be out of range.
Try moving the system closer to the
access point or readjusting the antenna
on the access point. You may also
move the access point to a higher
location for better signal reception by
the Wireless PCI Adapter.
I am associated
and connected to
an access point,
but I cannot see
the other
computers on the
Ethernet side of the
network.
This could be a physical layer
problem or a network
configuration problem.
• Check to make sure that the access
point is physically connected to the
Ethernet network.
• Make sure that the IP addresses and the
Windows networking parameters are all
configured correctly.
