Completing the Setup
7 The default settings in Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 require IEEE 802.1x authentication. With IEEE
802.1x authentication enabled, connecting to a network requires a connection with an authentication server. If
the network has no authentication server, the connection is disabled every 3 minutes. Therefore, when
connecting to a network that has no authentication server, disable IEEE 802.1x authentication by doing the
following (if the network does have an authentication server, ignore this step):
• Click the Authentication tab.
• Clear the Enable network access control using IEEE 802.1x check box.
8 Click OK. The network name and icon appear at the top of the list under Preferred networks.
9 Click OK to activate the network connection. To verify that the network connection has been made, reopen
Wireless Network Connection Properties for that wireless network and click the Wireless Networks tab.
The computer is connected to the selected network when a blue bubble appears on top of the icon
network. If the bubble does not appear, click Refresh. If it still does not appear, try to access a Web page to
verify that an Internet connection exists.
