Troubleshooting

If You Have Trouble Connecting to Another Notebook in the Network Neighborhood or My Network Places

■Wait a few minutes, then press F5 to refresh the list of notebooks on the network.

■Select Start > Search > Notebooks or People to locate the notebook.

If You Cannot Connect to a Particular Notebook on the Network

■Make sure the notebook is properly connected to the network.

■Make sure your TCP/IP setup is correct for your network by selecting Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.

If You Can Connect, But the Network Is Slow

■Check whether you might be in an area served by more than one wireless LAN. If so, the LANs could be interfering with each other.

■Move closer to the access point (for an infrastructure connection) or other wireless notebook (for an ad hoc connection). You could be too far away for high-speed communication.
