Wireless Network (WLAN) Related
The Wireless LAN device is operating properly, but I cannot connect to the
Q Internet
or to another computer.
► This is due to an incorrect conﬁguration, or a conﬁguration error. Check the
following:
A1 If you are using a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network connection, check that
the name of the conﬁgured network (SSID) is correct.
A2 If you are using a network key (encryption key), you have to use the same network
key for an AP (Access Point) or a computer-to-computer network (Ad Hoc). The
network key of the AP is conﬁgured in the AP management program. Ask your network administrator or AP manager for more detailed information.
A3 Check that the device driver is installed properly. If the driver is not properly installed, you will ﬁnd a yellow exclamation mark on the network icon by clicking
Start > Control Panel > System and Maintenance > Device Manager > Network
Adapter.
Q The signal strength is excellent, but I cannot connect to the network.
► Even if the signal strength is excellent, the network connection may not operate properly if the TCP/IP properties are not properly conﬁgured, or the network key (encryption key) is incorrect.
A Check that the TCP/IP properties are conﬁgured properly. When connecting to an
AP, right-click the Network Connections ( ) icon on the taskbar and select Network and Sharing Center. If you click the View Status next to a connected wireless network device and then click the Detail button, you can view the IP information. 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.
206
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.
Q I cannot connect to the AP.
► Check the Computer Settings
A1 Click Start> All programs> Accessories> Windows Mobility Center and check
the status of Wireless Device.
● When the Wireless is turned off
Turn on the Wireless via the button ‘Turn wireless on’ in the Mobility Center.
If the button is inactivated with gray color, change the Wireless LAN item to On
in the MENU.
● When the Wireless Network status is ‘Not connected’
The computer is not connected to AP. Check the AP status with reference to
‘Check the AP Settings’ below.
Retry to connect after checking the network key settings (encryption key) of related AP.
● When the Wireless Network status is Connected but the internet is not enabled.
The computer is connected to AP but the AP or the network connected with the
AP may have a problem.
● When a message of ‘No wireless Adapter found’ appear or a icon for Wireless Network is not found in the Mobility Center.
The wireless device is set to ‘Disabled’ or the device is not detected. Click
Check the wireless LAN device is properly detected and change to enable when
it is set as disabled in the Device Manager window.
207
A2 Verify whether the same network key (encryption key) has been entered for both
the AP and the computer. The network key is an encryption key for encrypting the
data transmitted between the AP and the computer. It is recommended setting the
network key manually.
► Check the AP Settings
For the AP settings, refer to the User Guide provided by the AP manufacturer.
A3 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.
A4 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 ﬁrmware is the most recent version. (Contact the AP
manufacturer or the place where you purchased the AP for details of the AP ﬁrmware.)
A5 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.
A6 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.
A7 Check the AP settings as follows. (The following is recommended for a standard
environment and thus may differ according to the speciﬁc 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.
When connecting to a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network, I cannot
Q connect
to another computer on the same computer-to-computer network.
A1 Make sure that the security settings and network name of the computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network are correct.
A2 Check the TCP/IP properties of the computers to be connected through the computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network. All computers to be connected through the
computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network should be conﬁgured so that their IP addresses are within the same subnet range.
● If the TCP/IP Settings are conﬁgured to DHCP, the address is automatically conﬁgured to an address within the subnet IP range. This will take about 2~3 minutes.
● If the IP address is conﬁgured to a static IP in the TCP/IP properties, select
Use the following IP address in the TCP/IP properties of the wireless adapter,
conﬁgure an IP address between 10.0.0.1~10.0.0.254, and a Subnet mask of
255.255.255.0, and try again.
● A ﬁxed IP is recommended for a small-sized network.
● If you are using a DHCP IP address, the system boot time may be extended.
209
A3 You must register the IP address allocated by the McAfee SecurityCenter as a
‘Trusted IP’. Select the Advanced menu > Settings > Internet and Network >
Advanced, and register the IP address or IP address range of a network in the
‘Trusted or Blocked IP’ ﬁeld.
When using a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network, sometimes I cannot
Q search
the access point.
A It may happen occasionally when you are using a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc)
network connection. Even if you cannot ﬁnd some access points, the computer-tocomputer (Ad Hoc) network is operating properly. Click Refresh to view the latest
search result.
The network does not operate properly when both the wireless and the
Q wired
network connections are simultaneously conﬁgured with the same IP
address.
A You cannot use the wireless and the wired network connections using the same IP
address simultaneously. To use either the wireless or the wired network in turn with
the same IP address, you have to Disable whichever network device will not be
used in the network connection of the Control Panel.
The wireless LAN does not work properly when there is a device operating
Q 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.
210
Bluetooth
The Korean or Chinese characters in a business card received via Bluetooth
Q are
broken.
A1 If you send a business card including Korean or Chinese characters by selecting
a Select a business card in the ﬁle (*.vcf, *.vcd) option, the characters on the
received card will be broken.
This is because the contents of the business card ﬁle are not set to Korean or

This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method
claims of certain U.S. patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners. Use of this copyright protection technology

About the Product Capacity Representation Standard
The capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer is calculated assuming that 1KB=1,000 Bytes.
However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity assuming that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and therefore the capacity representation of the HDD in
Windows is smaller than the actual capacity due to the difference in capacity calculation. (E.g. For a 80GB HDD, Windows represents the capacity as 74.5GB)
In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even smaller because
some programs such as Recovery Solution may reside in a hidden area of the HDD.
222
Glossary
The Glossary lists the terminologies used in this User Guide.
For terminologies other than these, look in Windows Help.
Backup
A way to save the current data to restore
it later if necessary. A backup is a way to
restore computer data when the data or
computer is damaged.
Direct X
An application interface developed to enable Windows application programs to
access hardware devices at a very high
speed. Since the operating speed of graphics, memory and sound cards must be
very fast to provide high quality video and
sound for games, Direct X enables faster
control and interaction between applications and hardware devices. By using
Direct X, the multimedia performance of
Windows has been hugely improved.
Client
This refers to a computer that uses a
shared network resource provided by a
server.
DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access
Memory)
DRAM is a memory type whose cells consist of a capacitor and transistor manufactured at a low price. SDRAM is a memory
type whose performance has been improved by synchronizing the clock with
the external CPU clock. DDR SDRAM is
a memory type whose performance has
been improved by doubling the operating speed of the SDRAM and is widely
used nowadays. This computer uses DDR
SDRAM.
Driver
Software that interacts between the hardware and the operating system. An operating system knows the hardware information and controls the hardware. In general,
a driver is supplied with the corresponding
hardware device.
DVD (Digital Versatile Disk)
DVD was developed to replace CD (compact disk). Although the shape and size of
the disc are the same as that of a CD, the
capacity of a DVD is at least 4.7GB while
the capacity of a CD is 600MB. DVD video
is digital unlike VHS (analog) video and
supports MPEG2 compression and digital
audio. To play a DVD, a DVD drive is required.
Device Manager
An administrative tool used to manage
computer devices. You can add or remove
hardware or update a device driver using
the Device Manager.
223
Firewall
A security system used to protect an internal network or intranet from external
networks through an authentication procedure.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
There are Passive Matrix and Active Matrix
LCD types. This computer uses the Active
Matrix type LCD called a TFT LCD. Since
an LCD is implemented by transistors instead of a cathode-ray tube unlike a CRT,
its size can be slim. And because it does
not blink, it reduces eye strain.
Hibernation Mode
A power mode that saves all data in memory to the hard disk and turns the CPU and
hard disk off. When canceling Hibernation
Mode, all application programs that were
running are restored to their last state.
Network
A group of computers and devices, such
as printers and scanners, connected by
a communications link. A network can be
either small or large and can be connected
permanently through cables or temporarily through telephone lines or wireless
links. The biggest network is the Internet, a
worldwide network.
Icon
This refers to a small image that represents a ﬁle that users can use.
LAN (Local Area Network)
A communications network connecting
computers, printers and other devices
within a local area such as within a building. A LAN enables all connected devices
to interact with other devices on the network. The current LAN uses the Ethernet
media access control method developed in
the early 1980s. To connect to an Ethernet,
a network card called a LAN card, Ethernet
card or network interface card is required.
To exchange data between computers, a
protocol is required besides the hardware
equipment. Windows Vista uses TCP/IP as
the default protocol.
Network Administrator
A user who plans, conﬁgures and manages
network operations. Sometimes, a network
administrator is called a system administrator.
Notiﬁcation Area
This refers to the right area of the Taskbar including program icons such as the
volume control, the power options and the
time.
224
Power Schemes
This refers to a pre-determined power
management option group. For example,
you can set the time the computer waits
before entering Standby Mode, or before
the monitor or hard drive turns off. The
settings are saved as a power scheme.
memory is not saved to the hard disk. If the
power is tuned off, the data in memory will
be lost.
System File
System Files refer to ﬁles that are read and
used by the Windows operating system. In
general, system ﬁles must not be deleted
or moved.
Quick Launch
This refers to a toolbar that can be conﬁgured so that you can launch a program
such as Internet Explorer or display the
Windows Desktop with one click. You can
add any icon to the quick launch area of
the Taskbar and launch frequently used
program by clicking that icon.
USB (Universal Serial Bus)
This refers to a serial interface standard
developed to replace the conventional interface standards such as Serial and PS/2.
While USB 1.1 supports 12Mbps (12 million bits per second), USB 2.0 supports a
data rate that is 40 times (480Mpbs) faster
than that of USB 1.1. The data rate of
USB 2.0 is equivalent to that of IEEE1394.
Therefore USB 2.0 is used for A/V devices
supported by IEEE 1394 and a 2nd HDD
and CDRW that require a high data rate.
Server
In general, a server refers to a computer
that provides shared resources for network
users.
Share
This refers to setting a resource of a computer such as a folder or printer so that
other users can also use it.
Windows
The name of an operating system developed by the Microsoft Corporation. Windows Vista is installed on this computer.
