CHAPTER 6 Troubleshooting

Check the IP address and subnet mask on PCs running Windows*
95, Windows 98, and Windows Me
Most of the time, the AnyPoint software or Windows automatically sets the
IP address and subnet mask on your PC. If you have problems, you can
manually specify an IP address.
To verify an IP address and subnet mask for your adapter:
1
Click Start then click Run.
2 In the Run box, type “winipcfg” then click OK. The IP Configuration
screen
appears,
3 View the Intel AnyPoint Wireless II Adapter and verify that the
address is in the same subnet range (such as 192.254.10.10, subnet
255.255.255.0).
If you need to change the IP address, reference the following URL,
www.intel.com/anypoint/support, and read the document entitled, “I
want to change my adapter's IP (Internet Protocol) address.”
I have an insufficient permissions error when running
Windows 2000
Any user who is not a member of the Administrator’s group will not have
permissions to run the AnyPoint™ software.
To add the current user to the Administrator’s group:
1
Log on as an administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.
2 Click Start > Settings > Control Panel.
3 Double-click Users and Passwords.
4 Under Users for this computer, click the user you want to change and
then click
Properties.
5 On the Group Membership tab, click Standard user (Administrators
Group)
6 Click OK to close all dialog boxes.
Note: For Windows 2000 Professional, view the IP address at the
command prompt. Then type the following: command
C:> ipconfig /all.
