NETWORK CONNECTION PROBLEMS

Check for a defective computer or PCMCIA connection by trying the adapter in another computer that is known to operate correctly.

If it still does not work, take out the wireless adapter. Delete CW10.sys from c:\windows\system. Then go to “Control Panel” and delete the adapter from your network configuration menu. Restart your PC and reinstall the card.

Network Connection Problems

If the Link LED on the PC Card does not light, or if you cannot access any network resources from the computer, check the following:

Make sure the correct software driver is installed for your operating system. If necessary, try reinstalling the driver.

Make sure the computer and other network devices are receiving power.

The access point you want to attach to may be defective. Try using another access point.

If you cannot access a Windows or NetWare service on the network, check that you have enabled and configured the service correctly. If you cannot connect to a particular server, be sure that you have access rights and a valid ID and password.

If you cannot access the Internet, be sure you have configured your system for TCP/IP.
