I am using a DHCP server, and the Wireless Game Adapter gets an IP address conflict.

If the wireless game adapter is left on when the DHCP server is turned off, the wireless game adapter will retain its IP Address without informing the DHCP server. Reset the wireless game adapter so it will obtain a new IP Address. This problem also arises if you assigned a static IP Address within the range used by the DHCP server. If so, use another address NOT within the range used by the DHCP server.

Be sure to observe the range and placement guidelines published in the Reference Manual.

I cannot configure the WGE111 from a browser.

You did not specify the correct wireless game adapter IP address, or there could be a system problem. Check the suggestions below and also see “Troubleshooting the Web Configuration Interface” on page 5-6.

•Remove and reconnect the power to the wireless game adapter.

•Make sure your computer and the wireless game adapter are in the same subnet. Both IP addresses should start with the same numbers. For example, 192.168.0.x. The subnet masks must match. For example, both should be 255.255.255.0.

•Enter the correct IP address in the address field of the browser. 192.168.0.202 is the WGE111 default IP address.
