Note: To share files between the two computers, they must have

the same Workgroup name, and file/folder sharing must be

enabled.

The PC Card is not connecting to the Internet in Infrastructure mode.

First, make sure the PC Card is connected to an access point or wireless gateway/

router. If WEP security is enabled, the PC Card must have the same WEP keys

entered as the access point or wireless gateway/router. Also, make sure the TCP/

IP properties of the computer in which the PC Card is inserted are configured

properly. Finally, go to the Control Panel of the computer and select “Network”

or “Network and Dial-Up Connections.” Right-click on the wireless connection

corresponding to the PC Card and select “Properties.” When the “Connection

Properties” window appears, highlight “Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)” from the

list box and click “Properties.” When the “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” window

appears, click in the “Obtain an IP address automatically” circle to activate.

Reboot the computer.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far can I be from an access point and maintain a connection?

The access point’s range depends on the environment. Indoor range is approxi-

mately 91 meters (300 ft.) or more; outdoor range can reach up to 533 meters

(1750 ft.).

How fast is the wireless network?

The rated speed of the wireless network under optimal conditions is 54 Mbps.
