If you are using Windows XP and you cannot get the Wireless Zero Configuration to start or you simply do not see any wireless functionality on your system, the service may have been disabled by a third party application. Please check with Microsoft for assistance on re-enabling the service. Make sure the computer and other network devices are receiving power. If you suspect a power outlet to be faulty, plug another device into it to verify that it is working. · · · · · If your wireless station cannot communicate with a computer on the Ethernet LAN when configured for Infrastructure mode, try changing the wireless channel on the AP. Make sure the SSID is the same as that used by the AP for a station with roaming disabled, or the same as that used by the AP's in the extended service set (ESS). The Access Point you are trying to attach to is defective or may not be configured properly to accept your signal. Check with the administrator of your wireless network for more information on connecting to the LAN. Also run the necessary diagnostics on the AP to make sure the unit is fully operational.

A wireless LAN does not require lining up devices for line of sight transmission like IrDA. Wireless access points (base stations) are connected to an Ethernet hub or server and transmit a radio frequency over an area of several hundred to a thousand feet which can penetrate walls and other non-metal barriers. Roaming users can be handed off from one access point to another like a cellular phone system. Laptops use wireless network cards that plug into an existing PCMCIA slot or that are self contained on PC cards, while stand-alone desktops and servers use plug-in cards (ISA, PCI, etc. ). o An AD-HOC network is a peer to peer network where all the nodes are wireless clients. As an example, two PC's with wireless adapters can communicate with each other as long as they are within range. A wireless extension point can extend the range of an AD-HOC network. [. . . ] MPEG-2 can provide resolution of 704x480. MPEG uses the same intraframe coding as JPEG for individual frames, but also uses interframe coding which can help to further compress the video data, thereby reducing the overall size of the video. NAT ­ (Network Address Translation) This process allows all of the computers on your home network to use one IP address. The NAT capability of the Barricade, allows you to access the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP. [. . . ]
