192.168.0.4. The subnet
mask must be the same

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
Start
