151 For Windows XP, double-click the icon and check if the IP address is properly allocated on the Support tab. If the IP is not allocated properly, the IP address will be displayed as follows (e.g. 169.254.xxx.xxx). If the network does not provide DHCP, you have to specify the correct IP address by asking your network administrator. Even if the network provides DHCP, the server may not allocate an IP address to the client properly, and the client station cannot connect to the network. Check the AP Settings For the AP settings, refer to the User Guide provided by the AP manufacturer.A2 Verify whether the environment is suitable for using a wireless LAN. The use of a wireless LAN may be restricted according to the environment and distance. Obstacles such as walls or doors affect the use of a wireless LAN. Install the AP in a high and open space, 50cm from the wall and far removed from any other radio signal sources.A3 Verify whether the AP is operating properly.  When the AP is not operating normally, turn off the AP, wait a short while, and turn it on again.  Verify whether the AP’s rmware is the most recent version. (Contact the AP manufacturer or the place where you purchased the AP for details of the AP rmware.)A4 Verify whether the AP has been properly connected to the network. Verify whether the network is operating normally by connecting the wired network cable, which has been connected to the AP, to your computer.A5 Check the network key settings (encryption key) again. When automatic code conversion (a passphrase function) has been selected and data communication is not functioning even with a normal wireless connection, it is recommended entering the network key (encryption key) manually.

152A6 Check the AP settings as follows. (The following is recommended for a standard environment and thus may differ according to the specic wireless network environment.)  When several APs are present simultaneously, check the channel settings for each AP. When different APs are using nearby channels, interference may occur between the electronic waves. Set the AP channels further apart from each other. (Ex: Ch1, Ch5, Ch9, Ch13)  When an AP’s SSID (Service Set ID) option is set to “Hide”, you cannot search for that AP on the computer. We recommend unselecting the “Hide” option for the AP. The SSID is a name used for distinguishing one wireless LAN from another wireless LAN.  It is recommended using Long Preamble. Preamble is a signal for data transmission synchronization. Short Preamble may be supported by some types of APs but may cause compatibility problems.  It is recommended using a static IP.  Since static channel selection is more reliable than auto channel selection, it is recommended using a static channel.Q I have set the same IP address for both the wireless and wired connections, but they do not work properly.A You cannot use wireless and wired connections using the same IP address. To sequentially use both the wired and wireless connections with the same IP address, you need to set the currently not needed connection to Do Not Use in the Network Connections of the Control Panel.

153Q The wireless LAN does not work properly when there is a device operating on an adjacent frequency in the vicinity of the product.A1 Channel interference may occur when a wireless video transceiver or a microwave oven is being used. If you experience channel interference from other equipment, we recommended changing the channel for connecting to the AP. For more information about AP settings, refer to the User Manual supplied by the AP manufacturer.A2 Since IEEE802.11g equipment operates in hybrid mode when there is active IEEE802.11b equipment, the data rate may be degraded.

154Q 3D game is not executed, or some functions are not working.A Change the graphic setting of the game to “2D” or “Software Renderer,” then execute the program again.Q Game play is not displayed smoothly on the screen.A For 3D games, the texture data for the 3D screen display is saved to the system memory. If there is insufcient system memory, the data is saved to the hard disk drive and loaded to memory when required. This operation may temporarily stop displaying the picture on the screen. In this case, lower the game resolution or the screen settings.Q The picture on the screen is displayed as a broken image for some games.A A part of the picture on the screen may be broken when playing some games that require a high-specication graphics card. In this case, set the 3D function setting for the game to a lower value or set the game resolution to a lower value.Q I launched a game right after installing it, and the game is not executed.A This problem may occur when the game is not compatible with Windows. Launch the game again, and it will be executed properly.Games and Programs RelatedWindows may not provide some functions properly when performing some applications especially games, or may cause a problem due to a device driver compatibility issue.
