Troubleshooting

Windows 98

To make sure that the WLAN 802.11g device is installed properly:

1Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, then Network. Click the Configuration tab. If you find the WLAN 802.11g USB adapter listed, it means the USB adapter is installed properly. If you see a yellow question mark, it means there is a resource conflict.

-OR-

Right-click on the My Computer desktop icon, then select Properties. Click Device Manager, then click on Network Adapter. If you find the WLAN 802.11g USB adapter listed, it means the USB adapter is installed properly. If you see a yellow question mark, it means there is a resource conflict.

2Click on the USB adapter and then on the adapter service. You will see the status of the USB adapter. If there is a yellow sign on the USB adapter, check the following:

•Check to see if your computer has a free IRQ. Free an IRQ by assigning the same IRQ to some devices. For example COM 1 and COM 2 can be assigned the same IRQ values.

•Make sure that you have connected the correct USB adapter and have installed the correct driver.

Windows 2000

To make sure that the WLAN 802.11g device is installed properly:

1Use Windows 2000 Diagnostics to see if there is any conflict in the resource allocation of the I/O Address or IRQ allocations. If you find that the IRQ or I/O Addresses are already assigned to other devices, you must change that value. The I/O Address must be 40h bytes long.

2Go to the Control Panel. Double-click on the USB adapter and view the WLAN adapter. Double-clicking on the USB adapter shows you the USB adapter information, driver name, and the driver file. If you do not find the names, there are some problems and the driver is not installed correctly. Reinstall the driver.

3Check the PnP BIOS setup menu, then click No.
