Assigning a Static IP Address in Windows XP/2000
Note: Residential Gateways/Broadband Routers will automatically assign IP Ad-
dresses to the computers on the network, using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configura-
tion Protocol) technology. If you are using a DHCP-capable Gateway/Router you
will not need to assign Static IP Addresses.
If you are not using a DHCP capable Gateway/Router, or you need to assign a Static IP
Address, please follow these instructions:


    !      Go to Start




    !      Double-click on
           Control Panel




                                                                                29

      ! Click Properties




      ! In the window below, select Use the following IP address. Input your IP
           address and subnet mask. (The IP Addresses on your network must be
           within the same range. For example, if one computer has an IP Address of
           192.168.0.2, the other computers should have IP Addresses that are
           sequential, like 192.168.0.3 and 192.168.0.4. The subnet mask must be
           the same for all the computers on the network).
           IP Address:
           e.g., 192.168.0.2
           Subnet Mask:
           255.255.255.0
          Default Gateway:
          Enter the LAN IP address of
          the wireless router. (D-Link
          wireless routers have a LAN IP
          address of 192.168.0.1)

      ! Select Use the following
           DNS server addresses.
           Enter the LAN IP address of
           the Wireless Router. (D-Link
           wireless routers have a LAN
           IP address of 192.168.0.1)

       ! Click OK
You have completed the assignment of a Static IP Address. (You do not need to assign
a Static IP Address if you have a DHCP-capable Gateway/Router).                 31

Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and
operation of the DWL-AG520. Read the following descriptions if you are having problems.
(The examples below are illustrated in Windows XP. If you have a different operating
system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples).

1. Check that the drivers for the DWL-AG520 are installed properly.



       ! Go to Start >
            My Computer >
            Properties




       ! Select the
            Hardware

Troubleshooting
 2. I cannot connect to the Access Point or the wireless Router.

    !    Make sure that the SSID on the DWL-AG520 PCI adapter is
         exactly the same as the SSID on the Access Point or wireless
         Router.
    !    Move the DWL-AG520 and Access Point or wireless Router into
         the same room and then test the wireless connection.
    !    Disable all security settings. (WEP, MAC Address Control, AES)
    !    Make sure that the Access Point/Router is not locked down to a
         different frequency
    !    Turn off your Access Point and the computer with the
         DWL-AG520. Turn on the Access Point, and then turn on the
         computer with the DWL-AG520.
    !    Refresh the DWL-AG520 Utility


 3. The DWL-AG520 Power and Link lights are not on.

    !   Check to see if the DWL-AG520 PCI adapter is firmly inserted
        into the PCI slot of your desktop computer.

 4. I forgot my Encryption key.

    !    Reset the Access Point to its factory default settings and restore the
         DWL-AG520 Wireless PCI Adapter to the factory default settings.


 5. The computer does not recognize the DWL-AG520 Wireless Adapter.

    !    Make sure that the DWL-AG520 Wireless Adapter is properly seated
         in the computer’s PCI slot.
    !    If Windows does not detect the hardware upon insertion of the
         adapter, make sure to completely remove drivers that were
         previously loaded. To remove the drivers, do the following:



                                                                         35


Troubleshooting
                 A. Under Tools> select Folder Options…> select View
                    > under Hidden files and folders > select Show
                    hidden files and folders
                 B. Uncheck Hide extension for known file types > click
                    on Apply
                 C. Search for previously loaded driver files. Remove these
                    files from the INF and SYSTEM32 (DRIVERS) folders
                    in the Windows directory. Note: Windows XP and
                    Windows 2000 will rename .inf files that have not
                    received WHQL certification into oem.inf files (e.g.,
                    oem1.inf).

6. The computer with the DWL-AG520 installed is unable to connect to
   the wireless network and/or the Internet.

     !   Check that the LED indicators for the broadband modem are
         indicating normal activity. If not, there may be a problem with the
         broadband connection.
     !   Check that the LED indicators on the wireless router are functioning
         properly. If not, check that the AC power and Ethernet cables are
         firmly connected.
     !   Check that the IP Address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS settings
         are correctly entered for the network.
     !   In Infrastructure mode, make sure the same Service Set
         Identifier (SSID) is specified on the settings for the wireless clients
         and access points. The SSID factory default setting for the D-Link
         products is default. (Double-click on the WLAN icon in the taskbar.
         The Link Info screen will display the SSID setting).
     !   In Ad-Hoc mode, both wireless clients will need to have the same
         SSID. Please note that it might be necessary to set up one client to
         establish a BSS (Basic Service Set) and wait briefly before setting
         up other clients. This prevents several clients from trying to establish
         a BSS at the same time, which can result in multiple singular BSSs
         being established, rather than a single BSS with multiple clients
         associated to it.

                                                                            36


Troubleshooting

     !   Check that the Network Connection for the wireless client is
         configured properly. Select AP (Infrastructure) when connecting
         to an access point and select Ad-Hoc mode when connecting
         without an access point. Double-click on the WLAN icon in the
         taskbar > click on Configuration to change the settings for the
         wireless adapter.


     !   If Security is enabled, make sure that the correct encryption keys
         are entered on both the DWL-AG520 and the access point. Double-
         click on the WLAN icon in the taskbar > click Encryption. Check to
         see that the key selected is set to the same key as other devices on
         the network.


     !   If Turbo mode is enabled, make sure that Turbo mode is enabled
         on all Turbo mode compatible devices in your network, in order to
         communicate.



7. How can I troubleshoot distance issues using the DWL-AG520.


     !   Move the DWL-AG520 and Access Point or wireless Router into
         the same room and then test the wireless connection.


     !   Change the channel of the Access Point.


     !   Move devices within the line of sight




                                                                        37
