Step 2 - Install the driver

After you connect the USB cable, Windows starts the New Hardware Wizard. If your computer is running Windows Me, see the installation instructions in the Late-breaking News.

1.Insert the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN USB Device CD into your CD-ROM drive.

2.After your computer displays the Intel Product Information window, switch back to the New Hardware Wizard.

3.Click Next and follow the steps in the Wizard. Make sure that you:

•Windows 2000: Click the Search for a suitable driver for my device button.

•Windows 98 SE, Windows 98: Click Search for best driver for your device.

Finish the wizard and restart your computer if prompted.

Step 3 - Install the software

1.Double-click My Computer and double-click your CD-ROM icon to display the following:

2.Click Install Software.

3.Enter your Network Name (SSID), Network mode and Encryption selections. You can accept the default and make changes in Step 4.

4.Finish the wizard and restart your computer if prompted.

Step 4 - Configure the device

1.Double click the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN USB Device icon on the right side of the Windows taskbar:

If the icon is missing from the taskbar, click Start, Programs, Intel(R) Wireless LAN, Wireless LAN Utilities, and then Configuration Utility.

2. Click the Configuration tab and set the following:

•Mode: If you have a wireless access point, select Infrastruc-

ture.	If you are connecting directly to other wireless
computers, select	Ad Hoc.

•Network Name (SSID): Type the same name used by other wireless devices on your network.

For information about these settings, click the Help button.

3.If you use encryption to protect your wireless network, click the Encryption tab and type settings that match the other wireless devices on your network.

4.Click OK and restart your computer for these settings to take effect.

Step 5 - Check the device

To see if the wireless device is working, note the color of the device icon on the right side of the Windows taskbar:

Green indicates that the device is communicating successfully. Double-click the icon for more status information.

The Intel® PRO/Wireless 2011B LAN USB Device is similar to a wired network adapter except that the connection is wireless. The trouble- shooting techniques that apply to a wired network adapter also apply to this wireless device.

For the wireless device to communicate with an access point or other wireless computers:

•The Network Name (SSID) of the device must be the same as the Network Name set on other wireless devices.

•If the WEP encryption option is enabled, all wireless devices must enable encryption and use the same encryption mode, key number, and key.
