Network Connection Problems
If the LED on the USB adapter is not lit, or if you cannot access
network resources from the computer, check the following:
•
Make sure the correct software driver is installed. Try
reinstalling the driver.
•
Make sure the computer and other network devices are
receiving power.
•
The access point you want to connect to may not be
functioning correctly. Try using 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,
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 on
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.
•
Check that the wireless settings (i.e., WEP, SSID, Channel)
match the access point or other stations to which you are
attempting to connect.
•
If you still cannot connect, change the access point and all the
stations within the BSS to another radio channel.
