If you have an Infrastructure network, it’s highly likely
that you are using Dynamic Addressing (DHCP). In that
case, make sure that your Zoom Wireless-G PC Card
adapter’s TCP/IP setting is

If you have an ad hoc network, make sure that your
adapter’s TCP/IP settings specify an IP address that’s
on the same subnet as the other devices in your ad hoc
wireless network. For example, if the devices in your ad
hoc network have IP addresses such as
10.0.0.1
through
10.0.0.8
, you could use the address
10.0.0.9
