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.
Did the Wireless Adapter receive a valid IP address from the
Wireless Router/AP?
The easiest way is to click the System Tray icon to open the Wireless Adapter Smart Wizard. Then
check the IP address in the About page.
I cannot connect to the AP that I want from the Networks Tab.
On the Networks tab click Scan to refresh the list. If the ahe access point is available and there is
good signal strength there are a few possibilities:
• If the access point (AP) is WPA-PSK protected, you need the correct WPA-PSK passphrase.
Otherwise, the Wireless Adapter will still be connected to the previous access point and you
will not be able to change to the WPA-PSK access point.
• If the access point is WEP protected (either 64-bit or 128-bit encryption), you will be
prompted to enter the WEP encryption security information.
Note: Be sure all computers in your Ad Hoc network are configured with static IP
addresses in the same subnet.
