The data transfer rate can be auto-negotiated to 1, 2, 5.5Mbps or up to 11Mbps and is compatible with any existing IEEE802. 11b devices. With Wirelss 11b Mini PCI, you can roam between conference room and office without being disconnected the LAN cables; in addition, sharing files and printers can be easy tasks. The Wirelss 11b Mini PCI is available to Microsoft Windows operating systems (Windows® XP/2000/ME/98SE) and can be integrated into networking with either Ad-hoc mode (without an Access Point) or Infrastructure mode (with an Access Point). Wireless 11b Mini PCI User’s Guide 1.2 How Wireless 11b Mini PCI works Ad -h oc Netwo rki ng Mod e --- An Ad-hoc (or "spontaneous") network is a local area network or other small network, especially one with wireless or temporary plug-in connections, in which some of the network devices are part of the network only for the duration of a communications session. Users on the network can share files, print to a shared printer, and access the Internet with a shared modem. In this kind of network, new devices can be quickly added; however, users can only communicate with other wireless LAN computers that are in the wireless LAN workgroup, and are within range. Internet Cable Modem / DSL wireless Desktop PC with Wireless 11b Mini PCI (The Mini PCI module is optional) Laptop PC with Wireless 11b Mini PCI (The Mini PCI module is optional) Wireless 11b Mini PCI User’s Guide Infrastructure Networking Mode--- Infrastructure networking differs from Ad-hoc networking is that it includes an Access Point. In an Infrastructure networking, the Access Point can manage the bandwidth to maximize bandwidth utilization. Additionally, the Access Point enables users on a wireless LAN to access an existing wired network, allowing wireless users to take advantage of the wired networks resources, such as Internet, email, file transfer, and printer sharing. The scale and range of the Infrastructure networking are larger and wider than that of the Ad-hoc networking.

Provide the Windows® 98SE/2000/ME/XP CD or direct Windows to the proper location of the installation files if prompted. Then reboot if prompted. 8. Now you can identify a particular folder or disk drive to share, which means you can share a folder that both you and your family member/colleaque needs to access occassionally. You can also share your CD-ROM drive for others to use if your other computers do not have CD-ROM. Both of these processes are the same. Only the disk drives and folders that you specifically identify as shared will be accessible to other computers on your network. 9. Locate the disk drive or folder you want to share in Windows Explorer or the My Computer icon on your desktop. 10. Right-click the disk drive or folder and select Sharing. 40 Wireless 11b Mini PCI User’s Guide 11. Select Share As: to set the parameters for sharing this particular disk drive or folder. 12. The Share Name: box is used to identify the disk drive or folder you are sharing to other computers on the network, which can be helpful as more resources on your network for others. 13. The Comment: box is optional, which can be used to further describe the disk drive or folder for others on the network. 14. Access Type: allows you to designate how much someone else can do with this disk drive or folder. Read-Only only allows others to look at or open the files on the disk drive or in the folder. Full allows others to read, write, open, save, copy, move, and even delete files on the disk or in the folder. Depends on Password gives other computers access conditional on the password they provide. 41 Wireless 11b Mini PCI User’s Guide 15. Passwords: allow you to apply a level of security to your shared disk drives and folders. Any other computer (user) will be asked to enter the password you designate here before accessing the disk drive or folder. Two passwords are used to give two levels of security (or access) to others on the network using the Depends on Password setting. Leaving the Password boxes empty will give everyone on the network access to the disk drive or folder. 16. Click OK to continue. You will be prompted to enter the password(s) you provided for verification. Type the password(s) just as you entered them again. 17. Now you may access this disk drive or folder from another computer on your network. You may do so by double-clicking the My Network Places icon on your desktop or inside Windows Explorer. 18. Navigate to the computer with the shared disk drive or folder (recognized by the Computer Name you provided) and double-click. Now you should see the disk drive or folder, and double-click. If you specified a password when sharing this disk drive or folder, you will be asked for the password. 19. You can access a disk drive or folder shared over the network from most Windows ® 98/ME/2000/XP applications. You can map these disk drives and folers to a drive letter on another computer to make this process easier. For example, on a computer where you are accessing a shared folder from another computer, inside Windows Explorer right-click and select Map Network Drive. Now you are able to assign an available drive letter. Checking Reconnect at logon allows Windows to map this network drive each time when you start your computer. 42 Wireless 11b Mini PCI User’s Guide 6. troubleshooting This part describes the problems and corresponding solutions of driver installation.
