Communication problems between PC
and router
If the AR100 Access Wizard on the PC cannot establish communication with
the router, then it will show one or more of the following dialog boxes. Exit the
AR100 Access Wizard, follow the instructions to resolve the problem, and run
the AR100 Access Wizard again by re-inserting the CD in the CD-ROM drive
and clicking on Configure Router.

No Ethernet card

The PC you use to configure the router uses an Ethernet adapter card to
communicate over the Ethernet. If this dialog appears, your PC does not have
an Ethernet card correctly installed.
