access point.
2. Verify that your computers have a wireless link to the wireless access point, and if you have
ena
bled the DHCP server on the wireless access point, verify that your computers are able
to obtain an IP address through DHCP from the wireless access point.

Internet Explorer 6.0 or later or
Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or later to browse the Internet, or check for file and printer access on your
