Common Installation Problems
The Installation chapter describes how to install an ORiNOCO
®
USB Adapter in a computer running Windows
2000/XP/Vista. This section provides suggestions to resolve some of the common installation problems with an
ORiNOCO Wireless Client.
Configuring Networking Clients and Protocols
An ORiNOCO Wireless Client will bind to any existing networking components, such as Client for Microsoft Networks
and Internet (TCP/IP). Refer to the steps below that correspond to your computer’s operating system to configure the
card’s networking components.
Windows 2000/XP
Follow these steps to configure the card’s networking clients and protocols in the Windows 2000/XP computer:
1. Open the Control Panel’s Network and Dial-up Connections (Windows 2000) or Network Connections (Window
XP) icon.
2. Scroll through the list of the network connections and right-click the Local Area Connection that corresponds to the
ORiNOCO
®
USB Adapter.
3. Select Properties from the drop-down menu to view the connection’s properties screen.
4. Select a client or protocol from the list of components and click Properties to configure its settings. For example, if
you want to assign a static IP address to the client utility, then highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click
Properties.
NOTE: To add a new client or protocol, click Install and follow the on-screen instructions.
Windows Vista
For Vista Installation, the application installs only the driver, but it does not support the client utility. The Windows Zero
Configuration (WZC) manages the USB Adapter.
