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.

5. Click Apply.

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 Next 300 Mbps WN121T Wireless USB 2.0

Adapter IP address, click the WN121T icon to open the Smart

Wizard. Then check the IP address in the About page.

No IP address is assigned to the VPN

firewall.

This may occur if you upgraded your Next 300 Mbps WN121T

Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter 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.

Note: Be sure all computers in your Ad Hoc network are configured with static IP

addresses in the same subnet.
