Troubleshooting
Windows 98
To make sure that the WLAN 802.11g device is installed properly:
1 Click Start, Settings, Control Panel, then Network. Click the
Configuration tab. If you find the WLAN 802.11g USB adapter
listed, it means the USB adapter is installed properly. If you see a
yellow question mark, it means there is a resource conflict.
-OR-
Right-click on the My Computer desktop icon, then select
Properties. Click Device Manager, then click on Network
Adapter. If you find the WLAN 802.11g USB adapter listed, it
means the USB adapter is installed properly. If you see a yellow
question mark, it means there is a resource conflict.
2 Click on the USB adapter and then on the adapter service. You will
see the status of the USB adapter. If there is a yellow sign on the
USB adapter, check the following:
Check to see if your computer has a free IRQ. Free an IRQ by
assigning the same IRQ to some devices. For example COM 1
and COM 2 can be assigned the same IRQ values.
Make sure that you have connected the correct USB adapter
and have installed the correct driver.
Windows 2000
To make sure that the WLAN 802.11g device is installed properly:
1 Use Windows 2000 Diagnostics to see if there is any conflict in the
resource allocation of the I/O Address or IRQ allocations. If you find
that the IRQ or I/O Addresses are already assigned to other devices,
you must change that value. The I/O Address must be 40h bytes
long.
2 Go to the Control Panel. Double-click on the USB adapter and view
the WLAN adapter. Double-clicking on the USB adapter shows you
the USB adapter information, driver name, and the driver file. If
you do not find the names, there are some problems and the
driver is not installed correctly. Reinstall the driver.
3 Check the PnP BIOS setup menu, then click No.
