Looking for PC…
simplefi is in
discovery mode.

Press the

add device

button on SimpleServe Console to

Installation
.

Discovery is still not detecting simplefi

Before performing device discovery, exit other Windows
applications first. Some applications, such as HyperTerminal, can
periodically prevent device discovery from occurring successfully.

Also, review the next troubleshooting tip.

PC can’t discover simplefi. AutoIP assigned IP addresses to
two network adapters on my PC.

If AutoIP assigns IP addresses to two, or more, network adapters
on your PC, your PC network is improperly configured. Access
to both networks will not be reliable. In addition, your PC will
not be able to discover s i m p l e f i.

To check for this problem, open an MS-DOS Prompt window
from the Windows

Start

menu, select MS-DOS Prompt. Enter

“ipconfig”

and press the

Return

key. If the IP addresses of two

or more network adapters begins with 169.254, AutoIP is assign-
ing IP addresses to these adapters, and you’ll need to
reconfigure them.

To fix this problem, assign a static IP address to the wireless
adapter. For help, see Appendix D, Configuring IP Address
