Cannot connect to a Station (ASUS WLAN Card)

Follow the procedure below to configure your ASUS WLAN Card.

a. Verify that the “Network Type” is in “Ad Hoc” mode.

b. Verify that the “SSID” of your ASUS WLAN Card is set to the same

“SSID” of the other station (or another ASUS WLAN Card).

c. Verify that the “channel” of the ASUS WLAN Card is “Auto” or set to

the same “channel” of the other station (or another ASUS WLAN Card).

d. Verify that the “Encryption” type is the same as the other station (or

another ASUS WLAN Card). If “WEP” encryption is enabled, you
must set the same “WEP” Keys on both stations.

Bad link quality or bad signal strength

There are two possible reasons. First is radio interference, keep the environment
around the ASUS WLAN Card away from microwave ovens and large metal
objects. Then try to reorient the ASUS WLAN Card antenna. Second is the
distance, decrease the distance between your ASUS WLAN Card and the Access
Point or station (or another ASUS WLAN Card).

The TCP/IP protocol did not bind to the ASUS WLAN PC Card.

This will occur when the computer already has six TCP/IP bindings in Windows
98 or ten bindings in Windows Me. These limits are imposed by the Microsoft
operating system.

Solution: If your computer already has the maximum number of TCP/IP
bindings, remove one of the network adapters from the Network configuration
before installing the ASUS WLAN Card driver.
