changes take effect. Restart the computer.
• The computer with the wireless adapter may not have the correct TCP/IP settings to
communicate with the network. Restart the computer and check that TCP/IP is set up
properly for that network. The usual setting for Windows the Network Properties is set to
"Obtain an IP address automatically."
• The wireless access point's default values may not work with your network. Check the
wireless access point default configuration against the configuration of other devices in
your network.
• Make sure that the SSID, network authentication, and data encryption settings of the
computer with the wireless adapter are same as those of the wireless access point.
• Ping the IP address of the wireless access point to verify that there is a wireless
connection between the computer with the wireless adapter and the wireless access
point. If the ping fails, check the network configuration.
• Ping the default gateway to verify that there is a path from the computer with the wireless
adapter to the default gateway. If the ping fails, check the network configuration or call the
Internet service provider (ISP).
