Windows XP Wireless User Guide Supplement
The information in this guide supplements the Solo 1200 Wireless User
Guide or the Solo 9550 Wireless User Guide and provides examples of
setting up and accessing an access point or peer-to-peer wireless network
in Windows XP.
Creating a wireless Ethernet network
After you have turned on wireless Ethernet networks, you may want to
create a new wireless Ethernet network. You can create either an access
point or peer-to-peer wireless Ethernet network.
Access Point
An access point is a device that allows you to both join a wireless network
and access a wired network at the same time. You can create an access
point wireless network if you purchased an RG1000 or equivalent access
point. The figure below shows an example of an access point network.
To create an access point wireless Ethernet network:
1. Click Start, then select Control Panel.
