A4:
I specified the IP address http://192.168.0.228 in my Internet browser's
address bar, but an error message says "The page cannot be displayed". How can
I get into the TEW-453APB's web configuration page?
Please make sure that your workstation and the TEW-453APB are in the same
network segment. Make sure you change your workstation's IP Address to
192.168.0.X where “X” is a number from 1 to 227 and 229 to 254. If your
workstation and the TEW-453APB lie in the same network segment, then double-
check the connection between the TEW-453APB and your switch, and make sure
that the power adapters for your switch and the TEW-453APB are plugged in.
After I successfully configured the Access Point to meet my network settings,
I cannot connect to my network using wireless computers.
If you have a DHCP server in your network, you need to go into TCP/IP
settings again and re-select "Obtain an IP automatically" for Windows 98/ME and
"Obtain an IP Address automatically" for Windows 2000/XP to allow the PC to
regain an IP address from your DHCP server.
When I configure the network settings for the TEW-453APB, I don't have a
Domain Name Server, but the TEW-453APB requires a DNS entry. What do I do?
In this case, your DNS entry is the same as your Gateway's entry. So if
your Gateway is 192.168.1.1, then your DNS is 192.168.1.1.
All the settings are set correctly, but I still can't use the Access Point, what
should I do?
You can find additional information in the User's Guide. If you still have
