Appendix F: Windows Help

All wireless products require Microsoft Windows. Windows is the most used operating system in the world and
comes with many features that help make networking easier. These features can be accessed through Windows
Help and are described in this appendix.

TCP/IP

Before a computer can communicate with an Access Point, TCP/IP must be enabled. TCP/IP is a set of
instructions, or protocol, all computers follow to communicate over a network. This is true for wireless networks
as well. Your computers will not be able to utilize wireless networking without having TCP/IP enabled. Windows
Help provides complete instructions on enabling TCP/IP.

Shared Resources

If you wish to share printers, folder, or files over your network, Windows Help provides complete instructions on
utilizing shared resources.

Network Neighborhood/My Network Places

Other computers on your network will appear under Network Neighborhood or My Network Places (depending
upon the version of Windows you're running). Windows Help provides complete instructions on adding computers
to your network.
