Cannot connect to a Station (WLAN Card)
Follow the procedure below to configure your WLAN Card.
a. Verify that the “Network Type” is in “Ad Hoc” mode.
b. Verify that the “SSID” of your WLAN Card is set to the same “SSID” of the

other station (or another WLAN Card).

c. Verify that the “channel” of the WLAN Card is “Auto” or set to the same

“channel” of the other station (or another WLAN Card).

d. Verify that the “Encryption” type is the same as the other station (or another

WLAN Card). If “WEP” encryption is enabled, you must set the same

“WEP” Keys on both stations.

Bad link quality or bad signal strength
There are two possible reasons. First is radio interference, keep the

environment around the WLAN Card away from microwave ovens and large

metal objects. Then try to reorient the WLAN Card antenna. Second is the

distance, decrease the distance between your WLAN Card and the access

point or station (or another WLAN Card).

The TCP/IP protocol did not bind to the WLAN PC Card.
This will occur when the computer already has six TCP/IP bindings in Windows

98 or ten bindings in Windows Me. These limits are imposed by the Microsoft

operating system.
Solution: If your computer already has the maximum number of TCP/IP

bindings, remove one of the network adapters from the Network configuration

before installing the WLAN Card driver.
