Network Connection Problems
If the Link LED on the SMC2602W 11 Mbps Wireless PCI Card 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 want to attach to may be defective. Try using
another access point.
•
If you cannot access a Windows service on the network, check that you
have enabled and configured the service correctly. If you cannot
connect to a particular server, be sure that you have access rights and a
valid ID and password.
•
If you cannot access the Internet, be sure 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.
•
If you still can't connect, change the access point and all the stations
within the BSS to another radio channel.
•
For a station with roaming disabled, make sure the SSID is the same as
that used by the access point, or the same as that used by the access
points in the extended service set (ESS).
