Troubleshooting
This chapter provides solutions to problems usually occurring during the instal-
lation and operation of the Network PC Card. Read the description below to
solve your problems. If you can’t find an answer here, check the Linksys web-
site at www.linksys.com.
1. My computer does not recognize the Network PC Card.
• Make sure that the Network PC Card is properly inserted into the PCMCIA
slot. Note that the card can be inserted either way, but when it is inserted
properly, the “Instant Wireles” logo on the front of the card will not be seen.
If seen from the opposite side, only a small portion of the barcode and no
numbers can be seen when the card is inserted completely. If in doubt, try
inserting the card both ways. The card will slide in further when it is correct.
2. The Network PC Card does not work properly.
• Reinsert the Network PC Card into your notebook’s PCMCIA slot. A beep
should be heard if the adapter is properly inserted.
• For non-Windows environments, make sure that a PCMCIA card service
driver is installed in your PC.
• Click on the Control Panel and then on PC-Card. Check whether it has a
PCMCIA card in one of the sockets or not. If you find Network PC Card in
one of the sockets, it means the card is detected properly. If you see a yellow
question mark, the resources are conflicting.
Right click on My Computer and select Properties. Select the device man-
ager and click on the Network Adapter. You will find the Network PC Card
if it is installed successfully. If you see the yellow exclamation mark, the
resources are conflicting. Click on PCMCIA card and then on PCMCIA card
service. You will see the status of the Network PC Card. If there is a yellow
question mark, please check the following:
• Make sure your notebook supports a 5.0V card.
• Make sure your notebook has a free IRQ.
• Make sure you have inserted the right card and installed the proper
driver.
If the Network PC Card does not function after attempting the above steps,
remove the card and do the following:
• Uninstall the driver software from your PC.
• Restart your PC and repeat the hardware and software installation as
specified in this User Guide.
