Chapter 2: Setting Up Your Wireless Network

Connecting a Windows XP

Computer with Built-in Wireless

Capabilities

1 On your Windows desktop, click the Start button then click

Control Panel.

2 Double-click the Network Connections icon.

3 Right-click the Wireless Network Connection icon, then

select Properties.

4 On the Wireless Network Connection Properties dialog

box, select the Wireless Networks tab. Windows will

automatically scan for available wireless networks in your area.

Any compatible networks within range will appear in the

Available networks list. It should find the wireless network of

the

X6—named zoom. (The scan is done automatically

because the Use Windows to configure my wireless

network settings check box is selected by default).

5 Select zoom from the Available networks list, then click the

Configure button to add it to the Preferred networks list.

The notebook will try to connect to the Internet using the

wireless networks listed here, in the order in which they

appear. (If you already have networks listed here, we

recommend you either remove them or use the Move up

button to move zoom to the top of the list.)

6 Click OK.

7 Test your wireless connection. From the computer or

notebook that you set up, open your Web browser (for

instance, Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator) and try to

connect to a familiar Web address.

If you connect successfully, your notebook’s wireless

capability is configured and you are ready to browse the Web!
