troubleshooting My 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. frequently asked questions When I view the available connections, shouldn't I see the network for my building? Because most wireless networks use some form of private identification, their information is not broadcast out from the access point. Obtain the SSID and other network information from the network administrator and use it to manually add that network to your system. After you add it to your preferred networks list, it will show up as available when you are within range. Can I connect to my corporate network using my notebook? Yes, if your company has wireless capabilities incorporated into their network, you can use your notebook to connect to the network. Contact your company's network administrator to provide you with all the setup information. How can I print to my printer when it is connected to a different computer on the network? It is possible to share a printer across a network, but you have to do a couple of things first: - enable sharing for the printer. - install the appropriate printer driver on the notebook. - search the network for the printer and add it to your list of available printers. See the "enabling file & print sharing" section of this booklet or Windows online help for detailed instructions. 35
