207Even if the network provides DHCP, the server may not allocate an IP address to the client properly, and the client station cannot connect to the network.Q I cannot connect to the AP.► Check the Computer SettingsA1 Click Start> All programs> Accessories> Windows Mobility Center and check the status of Wireless Device.● When the Wireless is turned off Turn on the Wireless via the button ‘Turn wireless on’ in the Mobility Center. If the button is inactivated with gray color, change the Wireless LAN item to On in the MENU.● When the Wireless Network status is ‘Not connected’ The computer is not connected to AP. Check the AP status with reference to ‘Check the AP Settings’ below. Retry to connect after checking the network key settings (encryption key) of re-lated AP. ● When the Wireless Network status is Connected but the internet is not en-abled. The computer is connected to AP but the AP or the network connected with the AP may have a problem.● When a message of ‘No wireless Adapter found’ appear or a icon for Wire-less Network is not found in the Mobility Center. The wireless device is set to ‘Disabled’ or the device is not detected. Click Check the wireless LAN device is properly detected and change to enable when it is set as disabled in the Device Manager window.
208A2 Verify whether the same network key (encryption key) has been entered for both the AP and the computer. The network key is an encryption key for encrypting the data transmitted between the AP and the computer. It is recommended setting the network key manually.► Check the AP Settings For the AP settings, refer to the User Guide provided by the AP manufacturer.A3 Verify whether the environment is suitable for using a wireless LAN. The use of a wireless LAN may be restricted according to the environment and distance. Obsta-cles such as walls or doors affect the use of a wireless LAN. Install the AP in a high and open space, 50cm from the wall and far removed from any other radio signal sources.A4 Verify whether the AP is operating properly.● When the AP is not operating normally, turn off the AP, wait a short while, and turn it on again.● Verify whether the AP’s firmware is the most recent version. (Contact the AP manufacturer or the place where you purchased the AP for details of the AP firm-ware.) A5 Verify whether the AP has been properly connected to the network. Verify whether the network is operating normally by connecting the wired network cable, which has been connected to the AP, to your computer.A6 Check the network key settings (encryption key) again. When automatic code con-version (a passphrase function) has been selected and data communication is not functioning even with a normal wireless connection, it is recommended entering the network key (encryption key) manually.A7 Check the AP settings as follows. (The following is recommended for a standard environment and thus may differ according to the specific wireless network environ-ment.)● When several APs are present simultaneously, check the channel settings for each AP. When different APs are using nearby channels, interference may oc-cur between the electronic waves. Set the AP channels further apart from each other.
209(Ex: Ch1, Ch5, Ch9, Ch13)● When an AP’s SSID (Service Set ID) option is set to “Hide”, you cannot search for that AP on the computer. We recommend unselecting the “Hide” option for the AP. The SSID is a name used for distinguishing one wireless LAN from another wireless LAN.● It is recommended using Long Preamble. Preamble is a signal for data transmis-sion synchronization. Short Preamble may be supported by some types of APs but may cause compatibility problems.● It is recommended using a static IP.● Since static channel selection is more reliable than auto channel selection, it is recommended using a static channel.Q When connecting to a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network, I cannot connect to another computer on the same computer-to-computer network.A1 Make sure that the security settings and network name of the computer-to-comput-er (Ad Hoc) network are correct.A2 Check the TCP/IP properties of the computers to be connected through the com-puter-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network. All computers to be connected through the computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network should be configured so that their IP ad-dresses are within the same subnet range.● If the TCP/IP Settings are configured to DHCP, the address is automatically con-figured to an address within the subnet IP range. This will take about 2~3 min-utes.● If the IP address is configured to a static IP in the TCP/IP properties, select Use the following IP address in the TCP/IP properties of the wireless adapter, configure an IP address between 10.0.0.1~10.0.0.254, and a Subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and try again.● A fixed IP is recommended for a small-sized network.● If you are using a DHCP IP address, the system boot time may be extended.
210A3 You must register the IP address allocated by the McAfee SecurityCenter as a ‘Trusted IP’. Select the Advanced menu > Settings > Internet and Network > Advanced, and register the IP address or IP address range of a network in the ‘Trusted or Blocked IP’ field.Q When using a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network, sometimes I cannot search the access point.A It may happen occasionally when you are using a computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network connection. Even if you cannot find some access points, the computer-to-computer (Ad Hoc) network is operating properly. Click Refresh to view the latest search result.Q The network does not operate properly when both the wireless and the wired network connections are simultaneously configured with the same IP address.A You cannot use the wireless and the wired network connections using the same IP address simultaneously. To use either the wireless or the wired network in turn with the same IP address, you have to Disable whichever network device will not be used in the network connection of the Control Panel.Q The wireless LAN does not work properly when there is a device operating on an adjacent frequency in the vicinity of the product.A1 Channel interference may occur when a wireless video transceiver or a microwave oven is being used. If you experience channel interference from other equipment, we recommended changing the channel for connecting to the AP. For more infor-mation about AP settings, refer to the User Manual supplied by the AP manufac-turer.A2 Since IEEE802.11g equipment operates in hybrid mode when there is active IEEE802.11b equipment, the data rate may be degraded.

Re-verse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.About the Product Capacity Representation StandardThe capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer is calculated as-suming that 1KB=1,000 Bytes.However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity as-suming that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and therefore the capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than the actual capacity due to the difference in capacity calcula-tion. (E.g. For a 80GB HDD, Windows represents the capacity as 74.5GB)In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even smaller because some programs such as Recovery Solution may reside in a hidden area of the HDD.
223GlossaryThe Glossary lists the terminologies used in this User Guide. For terminologies other than these, look in Windows Help.BackupA way to save the current data to restore it later if necessary. A backup is a way to restore computer data when the data or computer is damaged.ClientThis refers to a computer that uses a shared network resource provided by a server.DDR SDRAM (Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory)DRAM is a memory type whose cells con-sist of a capacitor and transistor manufac-tured at a low price. SDRAM is a memory type whose performance has been im-proved by synchronizing the clock with the external CPU clock. DDR SDRAM is a memory type whose performance has been improved by doubling the operat-ing speed of the SDRAM and is widely used nowadays. This computer uses DDR SDRAM.Device ManagerAn administrative tool used to manage computer devices. You can add or remove hardware or update a device driver using the Device Manager.Direct XAn application interface developed to en-able Windows application programs to access hardware devices at a very high speed. Since the operating speed of graph-ics, memory and sound cards must be very fast to provide high quality video and sound for games, Direct X enables faster control and interaction between applica-tions and hardware devices. By using Direct X, the multimedia performance of Windows has been hugely improved.DriverSoftware that interacts between the hard-ware and the operating system. An operat-ing system knows the hardware informa-tion and controls the hardware. In general, a driver is supplied with the corresponding hardware device.DVD (Digital Versatile Disk)DVD was developed to replace CD (com-pact disk). Although the shape and size of the disc are the same as that of a CD, the capacity of a DVD is at least 4.7GB while the capacity of a CD is 600MB. DVD video is digital unlike VHS (analog) video and supports MPEG2 compression and digital audio. To play a DVD, a DVD drive is re-quired.
224FirewallA security system used to protect an in-ternal network or intranet from external networks through an authentication proce-dure.Hibernation ModeA power mode that saves all data in mem-ory to the hard disk and turns the CPU and hard disk off. When canceling Hibernation Mode, all application programs that were running are restored to their last state.IconThis refers to a small image that repre-sents a file that users can use.LAN (Local Area Network)A communications network connecting computers, printers and other devices within a local area such as within a build-ing. A LAN enables all connected devices to interact with other devices on the net-work. The current LAN uses the Ethernet media access control method developed in the early 1980s. To connect to an Ethernet, a network card called a LAN card, Ethernet card or network interface card is required. To exchange data between computers, a protocol is required besides the hardware equipment. Windows Vista uses TCP/IP as the default protocol.LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)There are Passive Matrix and Active Matrix LCD types. This computer uses the Active Matrix type LCD called a TFT LCD. Since an LCD is implemented by transistors in-stead of a cathode-ray tube unlike a CRT, its size can be slim. And because it does not blink, it reduces eye strain.NetworkA group of computers and devices, such as printers and scanners, connected by a communications link. A network can be either small or large and can be connected permanently through cables or temporar-ily through telephone lines or wireless links. The biggest network is the Internet, a worldwide network.Network AdministratorA user who plans, configures and manages network operations. Sometimes, a network administrator is called a system administra-tor.Notification AreaThis refers to the right area of the Task-bar including program icons such as the volume control, the power options and the time.
225Power SchemesThis refers to a pre-determined power management option group. For example, you can set the time the computer waits before entering Standby Mode, or before the monitor or hard drive turns off. The settings are saved as a power scheme.Quick LaunchThis refers to a toolbar that can be con-figured so that you can launch a program such as Internet Explorer or display the Windows Desktop with one click. You can add any icon to the quick launch area of the Taskbar and launch frequently used program by clicking that icon.ServerIn general, a server refers to a computer that provides shared resources for network users.ShareThis refers to setting a resource of a com-puter such as a folder or printer so that other users can also use it.Shared FolderA folder that can be used by other users on the network.Sleep ModeA power mode that enables computers to save power consumption when they are not being used. When a computer is in Sleep Mode, the data on the computer memory is not saved to the hard disk. If the power is tuned off, the data in memory will be lost.System FileSystem Files refer to files that are read and used by the Windows operating system. In general, system files must not be deleted or moved.USB (Universal Serial Bus)This refers to a serial interface standard developed to replace the conventional in-terface standards such as Serial and PS/2. While USB 1.1 supports 12Mbps (12 mil-lion bits per second), USB 2.0 supports a data rate that is 40 times (480Mpbs) faster than that of USB 1.1. The data rate of USB 2.0 is equivalent to that of IEEE1394. Therefore USB 2.0 is used for A/V devices supported by IEEE 1394 and a 2nd HDD and CDRW that require a high data rate.WindowsThe name of an operating system devel-oped by the Microsoft Corporation. Win-dows Vista is installed on this computer.Windows Media PlayerA multimedia program included with Win-dows. Using this program, you can play a media file, create an audio CD, listen to a radio broadcast, search and manage me-dia files, and copy files to a portable de-vice, etc.
