(WLAN)
A wireless network (Wireless LAN) environment is a network environment
that enables communication between multiple computers at home or a
small-size office through wireless LAN devices.
When a computer-to-computer network has been established, a computer that is not connected to the Internet can share the Internet by accessing
another computer connected to the Internet.

determined by the relevant product.
To view the installed wireless LAN card, click Start > Control Panel > Performance
and Maintenance > System > Hardware tab > Device Manager.
The wireless LAN connection settings will be described on the basis of the
Windows XP Service Pack 2 installed computer.
It is recommended using the default settings provided by Windows XP for the
wireless LAN settings for Windows XP installed computers. To setup using the
software supplied by the wireless LAN card manufacturer, refer to p.4-13 ‘Wireless Network Setup Using the Wireless LAN Setup Program’.
To use a wireless LAN, press the <Fn> and <> key combination simultaneously to enable a wireless LAN. When the wireless LAN is enabled, the WirelessLAN Operation LED () lights up. (See P. 1-9)
Wireless network connections can be classified into two categories.
1) Access Point
You can connect to an AP to use the network. This is possible only in an environment equipped with an AP. (See P. 4-8, ‘Connecting to an Access Point (AP)’)
What is an Access Point (AP)?
NNNNooootttteeee
An AP is a network device that bridges wired and wireless LANs, and
corresponds to a wireless hub in a wired network. You can connect multiple
wireless LAN installed computers to an AP.
2) Computer–to-computer (ad hoc)
This is also called a peer-to-peer network.
In computer-to-computer wireless networks, you can wirelessly connect 2 or more
computers that have wireless LAN modules. (See P. 4-9, ‘Connecting to
