Input your

IP Address

and subnet mask.

(The

IP Addresses on your

network must be within

the same range. For

example, if one computer

has an IP Address of

192.168.0.2, the other

computers should

have IP Addresses

that are sequential,

like 192.168.0.3 and

192.168.0.4. The subnet

mask must be the same

for all the computers on

the network.)

1.The computer used to configure the DWL-2000AP cannot

access the Configuration menu.

Check that the

Ethernet LED

on the DWL-2000AP is

ON

. If the

LED

is not

ON

, check that the cable for the Ethernet connection

is securely inserted.

Check that the Ethernet Adapter is working properly. Please

see item 3

(

Check that the drivers for the network adapters are

installed properly

) in this

Troubleshooting

section to check that

the drivers are loaded properly.

Check that the

IP Address

is in the same range and subnet

as the DWL-2000AP. Please see

Checking the IP Address

in

Windows XP

in the

Networking Basics

section of this manual.

Note:

The IP Address of the DWL-2000AP is 192.168.0.50. All the computers on the

network must have a unique IP Address in the same range, e.g., 192.168.0.x.

Any

computers that have identical IP Addresses will not be visible on the network. They must all

have the same subnet mask, e.g., 255.255.255.0

Do a

Ping test

to make sure that the DWL-2000AP is

responding. Go to
