Note: If you cannot connect, see Chapter 3, “Troubleshooting”. For problems with

accessing network resources, the Windows Client and File and Print Sharing

software might not be installed and configured properly on your computers. Please

refer to “Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing” in Appendix B.

Note: Ad Hoc mode will not work using DHCP settings. Ad Hoc mode requires either

static IP addresses (such as

192.168.0.1) or the IPX protocol. For instructions on

setting up static IP addresses on a Windows PC, refer to the PC Networking

Tutorial on the NETGEAR CD.
