Network
It may not be possible to make a network connection to a specified network
name using the ad hoc network function. If this occurs, the new network will
have to be configured for all computers connected to the same network in
order to re-enable network connections.
Security
1. TOSHIBA strongly recommends that you enable the encryption function
otherwise your computer could be left open to illicit access via the
wireless LAN connection which may result in an intrusion that can lead
to theft or loss of stored data. In addition, the owner of an Internet
connection is responsible for all browsing, downloading, and uploading
activities on that connection. Therefore, an unsecured wireless network
connected directly to the Internet is an open invitation for outsiders to
abuse your ISP account and privileges.
2. TOSHIBA is not liable for the eavesdropping on your data due to the
use of the wireless LAN connection and any damage that may occur
thereof.
