Ad Hoc Mode Is Not Working Correctly
You must click the Initiate Ad Hoc button before you click Apply.
To start an Ad Hoc network:
1. Fill in the Network Name (SSID) field.
2. Select the Computer-to-Computer (Ad Hoc) network type.
3. Click Initiate Ad Hoc.
4. Accept the default settings or make your changes, and then click OK.
5. Click Apply.
I can connect to the access point, but not
the other computers on the network or to
the Internet.
This could be a physical layer problem or a network
configuration problem.
1. Check to make sure that the access point is physically
connected to the Ethernet network.
2. Make sure that the IP addresses and the Windows
networking parameters are all configured correctly. See
the link to “TCP/IP Networking Basics” in Appendix B
.
3. Restart the cable or DSL modem, router, access point, and
computer.
How can I view the Wireless Express Card
IP address?
To view the Wireless Express Card IP address, click the
WN711 icon to open the Smart Wizard. Then check the IP
address in the About screen.
No IP address is assigned to the Wireless
Express Card.
This might occur if you upgraded your Wireless Express Card
software and did not reboot your system.
• Either restart your computer, or connect to a different access
point.
• It does not usually help to shut down the Smart Wizard or
disable and enable the card.
Note: Make sure that all computers in your Ad Hoc network are configured with static IP
addresses in the same subnet.
