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”
on page B-33
.
3. Restart the cable or DSL modem, router, access point, and

Viewing the IP address. To view the Wireless Adapter IP address, click the WG111v3
icon to open the Smart Wizard. Then check the IP address in
the About page.

Adapter.
This may occur if you upgraded your Wireless 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.
