Troubleshooting
Ejecting the PCMCIA card from the PCMCIA slot causes your laptop to restart or
stop responding.
To solve this problem:
• Before removing the PCMCIA card, close all files and network applications,
such as E-mail and Internet Explorer.
• Disable the PCMCIA card before removing it from the computer. See ‘Ejecting
the PCMCIA Card” on page 14.
When reinserted, the card is not detected.
When the PCMCIA card is removed and reinserted, the signals may become
destabilized and cause the card to be misread. The Windows drivers may
incorrectly read the card’s status during this period of signal instability, and fail to
detect the correct status of the PCMCIA card.
To solve this problem:
• Always disable the PCMCIA card before removing it from the laptop.
• Click
Start
->
Settings
->
Control Panel
. Double-click the
System
icon. In the
System Properties
dialog box, click the
Device Manager
tab, and then click
the
Refresh
button.
The Network Blaster 2021 Utility icon on the status bar has a red cross on it.
To solve this problem:
• If you are in Infrastructure mode, be sure that your PCMCIA card and the
access point have the same SSID and WEP settings. The SSID is case
sensitive. See ‘Device Configuration” on page 18.
• In Advanced settings (refer to ‘Device Configuration” on page 18), make sure
that the Authentication Type is either in Shared or Auto mode.
• Make sure that all the wireless stations are within range of the access point.
• Restart the access point.
• Restart your laptop.
