Wireless LAN
Q. I can’t communicate.
A. Check the following.
• Is the device serving as the other end of the communication the kind of device which can
communicate with the PC?
A number of communication systems can be used with the wireless LAN, but unless the
same system is used at both ends, communication will not be possible.
• Has the security been set correctly?
Select the same setting for the network key (WEP encryption) of this PC’s wireless LAN as
the one used by the access point.
• Has the IP address been set correctly?
Check whether the IP address been set correctly by taking step 2 (Set the IP address used
with the wireless LAN) on page 69 in the section entitled “Network connections using a
wireless LAN.”
• If the wireless LAN cannot be set to ON or OFF
When the PC has been re-started after termination caused by an error, the wireless LAN may
remain inoperable. In a case like this, shut down the PC and then start it up again.
Q. The communication speed is slow.
A. Check the distance between the PC and the other end of the communication. In some
cases, the communication speed varies depending on the distance involved.
Q. I can’t share with other computers on the network.
A. If no other computers appear on “Local Network” selected from “My Network Places,”
establish the same “Workgroup” or “Domain” setting.
