Ad Hoc Mode Is Not Working Correctly

You need to click the Initiate Ad Hoc button before you click Apply. Here is how you start an Ad

Hoc network:

1. Fill in the Network Name (SSID).

2. Select the Computer-to-Computer (Ad Hoc) Network Type.

3. Click Initiate Ad Hoc.

4. Accept the default settings or make your changes and click OK.

Two WG511T icons are in the system tray. You have an older software version installed on your system

and it needs to be removed. See “Removing the WG511T

Software” on page 1-9 or “Upgrading the WG511T Software”

on page 1-10.

I can connect to the access point, but not

the other computers on the network or to

the Internet.

This could be a physical layer problem or a network

configuration problem.

1. Check to make sure that the access point is physically

connected to the Ethernet network.

2. Make sure that the IP addresses and the Windows

networking parameters are all configured correctly. See

the link to “Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing” in

Appendix B.

3. Restart the cable or DSL modem, router, access point, and

computer.

Viewing the IP address. To view the WG511T Wireless PC Card IP address, click the

WG511T icon to open the Smart Wizard. Then check the IP

address in the About page.

No IP address is assigned to the WG511T

Wireless PC Card.

This may occur if you upgraded your WG511T Wireless PC

Card software and did not reboot your system.

• Either restart your computer, or connect to a different access

point.

• It does not usually help to shut down the Smart Wizard or

disable/enable the card.
