Appendix:

If you are using a direct computer to printer connection and are unsure as to how to

change your computer’s IP address, please follow the instructions below.

This troubleshooting guide is for Windows XP operating systems only; if you

are using a different operating system, please refer to your operating system’s

help.

NOTE:

You will need to disable any proxy server settings used in your computer (if

applicable).

If you are using Windows XP Internet Explorer 6 this can be done by opening a web

browser window, selecting

Tools

Internet Options

Connections

LAN Settings

Proxy Server.

Setting the IP address of your computer to match the IP address seen on the

Network Settings page.

If you are using Windows XP, you may use the following method.

1

Select Network Connections in the computer’s Control Panel.

2

Select the LAN wired connection you are using. Right-click and select

Properties.

3

Find Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). Select it and view its Properties.

4

Take note of the current settings on the Properties screen. You must

restore these settings to your computer once the Dell Internal Wireless

Adapter has been configured.

5

Select Use the following IP address.

6

For IP address, enter the first three numbers sets to match the IP address

of the printer (as seen on the

Configuration Page printed). You must vary

the last set of numbers so that it is different from the IP address of the

printer.

E.g. If the IP address assigned to the printer is 192.0.0.192, you must

set your computer’s IP address within the same range (e.g. 192.0.0.191

or 192.0.0.193)

7

Copy the Subnet mask and Default gateway as seen on the Configuration

Page.

8

You should now be able to access the printer’s Embedded Web Server.
