Symptom
My bridge-enabled
computer could not
communicate with
my wireless-enabled
computer or printer.
The Configuration
Utility cannot see
any bridge even
when I click Browse.
OR
I cannot access the
browser-based
configuration
software.
Cause
This most likely is a
network configuration
problem.
This could be a network
configuration problem or
a hardware connection
problem.
Solution
• Check that the wireless-enabled
computer or printer is on the same
wireless network as the computer
using the bridge.
• Make sure the Network Name
(SSID), WEP key (if WEP is
enabled) and country/region
selection are the same for all
devices connected to the same
wireless network.
• If the computer is connected to a
hub, disconnect all the devices from
the hub and connect the computer
directly to the bridge to see if it
works when directly connected.
• If the wireless LAN setting are
correct, make sure all the devices
are on the same IP network.
• Make sure the crossover cable that
connects your computer and the
bridge is the right cable type.
• Make sure the Ethernet cable
connectors are plugged into the
computer and bridge securely.
• Reset to factory defaults. See
page 15.
