Network Connection Problems

If the Network LED on the CardBus adapter does not light, or if
you cannot access any network resources from the computer.
Check the following:
Make sure the correct software driver is installed for your
operating system. If necessary, try reinstalling the driver.
Make sure the computer and other network devices are
receiving power.
The access point you are using may be defective. Try to use
another access point.
If you cannot access a Windows or NetWare service on the
network, check that you have enabled and configured the
service correctly. If you cannot connect to a particular server,
ensure that you have access rights and a valid ID and password.
If you cannot access the Internet, ensure that you have
configured your system for TCP/IP.
If your wireless station cannot communicate with a computer in
the Ethernet LAN when configured for infrastructure mode, check
the following:
Make sure the access point that the station is associated with is
powered on.
Make sure your wireless station is configured with the same
operating radio channel as the access point.
If you still cannot connect, change the access point and all the
stations within the BSS to another radio channel.
Make sure the BSSID is the same as the access point for a
station with roaming disabled, or the SSID is the same as the
access point for a station with roaming enabled.
