Chapter 1: Installing the AP+2 as an Access Point 11
Tip!
If your computer is running Windows XP, your operating system may
try to configure the AP+2 (rather than let you use the software provided with
the wireless adapter). You will know this is happening because you are
prompted with a message about one or more wireless networks being
available and you will be able to click a link to open the
Wireless Network
Connection Properties
dialog box. If this happens, click the link and clear
the
Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings
check box
to disable it, then click
OK
. You can then use the software provided with
your wireless adapter without interruption from Windows XP.

point to provide wireless access to the Internet. If this is the
case, test your wireless connection by opening a Web browser
on the computer you just set up and trying to connect to a
familiar Web address. (If you do not connect, see
Appendix
A: Troubleshooting
on page 53.)
