64 Users ManualConnecting Through a Wireless LAN (Optional)A wireless network (Wireless LAN) environment is a network environment that enables communication between multiple computers at home or a small-size office through wireless LAN devices.Using the wireless network connections between the systems, you can use normal network functions such as sharing of files, folders and printers. When a computer-to computer network has been established, a computer that is not connected to the Internet can share the Internet by accessing another computer connected to the Internet. For details, see “Sharing Internet Access” on page 76.The description in this section refers to the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (hereafter referred to as an 802.11ABG card) device.A wireless LAN card is optional. The model of the wireless LAN card is determined by the relevant product.To view the installed wireless LAN card, click Start > Control Panel > Performance and Maintenance > System > Hardware tab > Device Manager.The wireless LAN connection settings will be described on the basis of the Windows XP Service Pack 2 installed computer.It is recommended using the default settings provided by Windows XP for the wireless LAN settings for Windows XP installed computers. To setup using the software supplied by the wireless LAN card manufacturer, refer to "Wireless Network Setup Using the Wireless LAN Setup Program" (p70). To use a wireless network, you have to turn the wireless LAN function on by using the Wireless LAN latch.Wireless network connections can be classified into two categories.1) Access Point (AP) You can connect to an AP to use the network. This is possible only in an environment equipped with an AP. For details, see “Connecting to an Access Point (AP)” on page 65.
Connecting to the Internet 65What is an Access Point (AP)?An AP is a network device that bridges wired and wireless LANs, and corresponds to a wireless hub in a wired network. You can connect multiple wireless LAN installed computers to an AP.2) Computer-to-computer (ad hoc)This is also called a peer-to-peer network. In computer-to-computer wireless networks, you can wirelessly connect 2 or more computers that have wireless LAN modules. For details, see “Connecting to computer-to-computer networks (peer-to-peer or ad hoc)” on page 67.Connecting to an Access Point (AP)This section describes how to connect to an AP. You can use the network when you are connected to an AP. For more detailed information such as the network key (encryption key), ask your network administrator.1. Right-click on the Wireless Network Connection ( ) icon on the taskbar, and select View Available Wireless Networks.

Customizing Your Computer 93Customizing Your ComputerUsing System SetupThe System Setup (BIOS) program enables you to configure your computer hardware and set security and power-savings options. The settings you choose are stored in battery-maintained CMOS memory that saves the information even when the computer’s power is turned off. When your computer is turned back on, it is configured with the values found in this memory. Run System Setup if you get a message prompting you to run the program. You may also want to run System Setup, particularly the first time you use your computer, to set the time and date, use security or power-management features, or alter the settings of other features. BIOS Caution: If you are not familiar with BIOS setup and what the parameters mean, seek help from a person who is knowledgeable. Incorrect settings may cause your system to malfunction or "Crash”. Your computer’s version of System Setup may not include all the fields listed here or may include additional fields. Field names and order of appearance can vary according to the version of the BIOS (basic input/output system) on your computer.
