To share an Internet connection with Internet Sharing software you will need to purchase
Internet Sharing software or use the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) utility provided with
Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows ME or Windows 98SE.
Please follow your software documentation to properly configure the Internet sharing
software after you install your wireless networking adapters. To install your wireless
network adapter follow the instructions on the next page.
If the Internet Sharing Software will be installed on the same computer into which you are
installing the WIRELESS LAN CARD, then follow these steps:
1. Install The Wireless 54Mbps PC/PCI Card.
2. Check the Device Manager to confirm that your adapter is installed correctly.
3. Install your Internet Sharing Software.
4. If required by the software, set the static IP Address for the wireless adapter.
Note: The IP Address for all the computers on the network must be in the same IP Address range,
and the Subnet Mask must be the same for all the computers on the network. For example,
if the first computer is assigned an IP Address of 10.0.0.2 with a Subnet Mask of 255.0.0.0,
then the second computer can be assigned an IP address of 10.0.0.3 with a Subnet Mask
of 255.0.0.0, etc.
If the Internet Sharing Software will be installed on a computer other than the one in which
you are installing The Wireless 54Mbps PC/PCI Card, then follow these steps:
1. Install the WIRELESS LAN CARD into the computer.
2. Check the IP Address for the wireless adapter. Please make certain that all the computers
on your network are in the same IP Address range.
Note: By default, the wireless adapter is set to obtain a Dynamic IP Address,
automatically.
