• IP address of the robot's laptop (enter a value)

the Windows Help files. If you are still having trouble, contact Evolution Robotics
Customer Support.
6. Next, configure the robot laptop's Windows operating system to connect directly to the
remote computer using a wireless connection. How you do this depends on what
version of the Windows operating system your laptop is running. For example, for
Windows 2000:
• Double-click on the wireless icon in the system tray.
• Select 802.11 Ad Hoc network.
• Enter the same SSID name you entered on the remote computer. In the above
example, this is ADHOC.
• Disable encryption.
• Open the Control Panel and select Network and Wireless Connections, then
Wireless Net Tap.
• Call up the TCP/IP Properties Menu and enter the following information:
• IP address of the robot's laptop: Enter a value. This must be different than
the IP address of the remote computer.
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
7. Save the new network settings.
8. Test the wireless connection between the two computers by using ping on either
machine. To do this:
• Open an MS-DOS window
• At the prompt, type:
ping XXX.XXX.XX.X where instead of the X's, you should
enter the IP address of the OTHER computer. Here's an example of a failed
ping:
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]
