Chapter 5 – Troubleshooting

Solution B Wireless Network
• Follow the above solutions for a wired network
• Verify that there is a wireless client connected – the
gateway’s Wireless Link LED (third from the right in
the bank of eight LEDs) blinks green when it detects
traffic.
• Verify that your wireless adapter is set to operate in
Infrastructure mode and uses the same Network ID
(SSID) code and encryption settings as the gateway.
See Setting or checking your IP address on page 18.
Problem I can’t share files and printers among the PCs on my
network
Solution • Verify that each PC on the network can connect to
the gateway (See I can’t connect to the gateway on
page 56).
• Verify that each PC can “see” every other PC on the
network. For instance, on Windows 2000 you would
click “My Network Places” to locate each PC by its
system name (on Windows 9x, click “Network
Neighborhood”).
• If you add a third-party firewall to a PC, you may be
required to configure it to allow internal network
communication. Refer to the firewall documentation
for assistance.
• Because the operating system network browser can
take up to 15 minutes to refresh using TCP/IP, make
sure that all PCs have the Microsoft IPX/SPX
