Create a Wireless LAN Connection 33
Making a Basic Network Connection in Windows 98SE
These instructions are based on the assumption that your Sony Ericsson 802.11 Wireless LAN
Adapter is factory installed and that your software has been installed. If you received your wireless
network card as part of your computer, both of these procedures have been done for you. If you did
not receive your wireless network card as part of a computer, consult the Quick Start Guide that came
with your wireless network card for instructions on installing the hardware and software.
Windows 98SE users must use the Sony Ericsson Wireless Utility to configure wireless network
connections, as described in this section (for additional information on the Sony Ericsson Wireless
Utility, see Using the Sony Ericsson Wireless Utility on page 38).
In countries other than the United States and Japan you must set the Location property to the country
in which you are using your Sony Ericsson 802.11 Wireless LAN Adapter. This ensures compliance
with local regulatory restrictions on transmit power and optimizes network performance.
