computers in the wireless network.
Note: For ESSID, do not input a name which is easy to guess (such as
your own name or company name). Input, for example, a
password which is only known by the other users of your
network. This will prevent people from having access to your
network without your permission.
e. Set ‘Tx Rate’ to ‘Auto’. The optimal speed will then be selected
automatically.
f. Click on ‘Advanced Setting’ and select ‘Enable’ for ‘Power Save’ if you
wish to use the power save function. Click on ‘OK’.

6 General network settings
This chapter explains the Windows network settings. Procedures are not described
in detail, however. Please refer to the Windows Help function or contact Microsoft for
more details.
6.1 Games and Network
Most computer games that are now released support ‘Multiplayer’. This means that
more than one player can play the game via a network. Please refer to the
instruction manual provided with the game for information concerning ‘Multiplayer’.
The instruction manual will also state which protocols are supported by the game
and how these must be installed.
6.2 Protocols
A protocol is a type of language which computers use to communicate with each
other. Each protocol has its own specific properties. A short description is given
below of the most common protocols.
IPX / SPX: This protocol is mainly used in Novell networks and also for
games.
TCP / IP: This protocol is used for Windows networks and the Internet.
This protocol is also used for games.
Use the following series for fixed TCP/IP addresses:
192.168.0.2 to 192.168.1.255, subnet mask = 255.255.255.0.
Note: Other TCP/IP settings are also used on the Internet. If you
use a different address series than those given above, your
Internet connection may not function correctly.
NetBEUI: This protocol is easy to use and is mainly used in Microsoft
networks. This protocol is ideal for sharing files and printers.
Note: NetBEUI does not work in combination with a Router.
6.3 Sharing files and printers
A number of settings must be made to allow other computers access to files on your
computer and/or your printer. This service should be installed. See Windows Help for
more information.
6.3.1 Sharing files
In a network, a hard disk or directory is accessible via a share. A hard disk or
directory must first be ‘shared’ to become accessible. The sharing of files and
printers must first be enabled before shares can be made.
You must indicate this in the Windows network settings. You then make a hard disk
or directory shareable by indicating this in its properties.

TRUST UN110W WIRELESS NOTEBOOK CONNECTION KIT
8
Click on the ‘Network Neighborhood’ icon on the desktop to access a shared hard
disk or directory. A drive letter can be assigned to a share so that it can be accessed
directly from every application. You can indicate this letter in the share’s properties.
6.3.2 Sharing printers
Printers are shared in a similar way to files. You indicate that the printer is shared in
its properties. Only then will the printer be available on the network.
Everybody who wishes to use a shared printer must install that printer’s driver. It
must also be indicated that it is a network printer and not a local printer.
6.4 Warning
The TCP/IP protocol is also used for the Internet. If you have set up a TCP/IP
protocol and enabled file and printer sharing, it is possible that somebody could
access your hard disk and/or printer via the Internet.
To prevent this problem, disable file and printer sharing or remove ‘Client for
Microsoft Network’. However, make sure the TCP/IP protocol and your network card
are installed.

8 Troubleshooting
This chapter is intended to help solve any possible problems.
8.1 It is not possible to make a connection
If the computer cannot make a connection with the server or another computer, first
check the following points.
1. Have the drivers for the Trust CN105W Wireless Network PC-Card been
installed correctly? The drivers cannot be installed if the card is faulty or has
not been inserted into the PCMCIA slot correctly.
2. Have the settings for the Wireless Network Utility been configured correctly?
3. Have the correct drivers been selected for the network that you wish to use?
Ask your Network Administrator for more information about the network.
4. Have the correct values for the type of package and the IP-address been
input?
5. Has the plug of the network cable been inserted as far as possible into the
Access Point?
6. Does the network hub work (when using an Access Point)? Try to make a
connection via another workstation which is connected to the same hub.
7. Does the connection run via a hub (when using an Access Point)? Two
computers cannot be connected directly to each other via a UTP or STP
cable. They can only be connected directly to each other via a ‘Cross-link’
cable.
8.2 Cannot make a connection in Windows 98 / Windows ME /
Windows 2000 / Windows XP
Also see the instruction manual provided with Microsoft Windows for more
information.
Check the following.
1. Have the NetBEUI protocol and ‘Client for Microsoft networks’ been
installed? Check the network properties. These components are necessary
to make a connection. If necessary, add these components by clicking on
‘Add’.
2. Has the NetBEUI protocol been bound to the driver for the PC-Card? Select
‘Bindings’ in the ‘Network Properties’ window. This is only necessary if the
connection has been manually broken. This connection is made
automatically in Windows 98 when a new network card is installed.
3. Do both systems have the same workgroup name? The workgroup name
must be known by the server. If necessary, change the name. Contact the
Network Administrator if you do not know the name of your workgroup. The
name of a workgroup may not be the same as another computer name in
the same network.
