2. A Home Internet Network with Multiple IP Addresses (continued)
Please follow these steps to complete the installation:
1. Connect the Wireless Access Point (the D-Link AirPro DWL-
5000AP) to a Broadband connection (i.e., a Cable modem such as
the D-Link DCM-200 cable modem.)
2. Install the D-Link AirPro DWL-A650 Wireless Cardbus Adapter
into the laptop computer(s) on your wireless network. (You can also
install the D-Link AirPro DWL-A520 Wireless PCI Adapter into your
desktop computers. Please refer to the Quick Install Guide
included with each product.)
3. Check the Device Manager to confirm that the wireless adapter is
installed correctly. Please refer to the Troubleshooting section in
this manual entitled: Checking the Installation of the Drivers for
the Wireless Adapter.
4. Set the Static IP Address of the wireless adapters. Please refer to
the Networking Basics section in this manual entitled: Assigning
an IP Address.
Note: The IP Address for all computers 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
192.168.0.2 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, then the second
computer should be assigned an IP Address of 192.168.0.3 with a Subnet
Mask of 255.255.255.0, etc. Each computer must have a unique IP Address.
If two devices share an identical AP Address, a conflict occurs, and one
device may not be visible on the network.
If you are using a PPPoE client (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet)
please contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) for further instructions
regarding connecting to the Internet.
5. Learn to share printers and files. Please refer to the Networking
Basics section in this manual entitled: Adding and Sharing Printers
in Windows XP.
