I have wireless on my computer, but cannot see any networks
If your computer features a mechanical switch to turn wireless networking on and off, please make sure it is in the On position.

I see the wlan but I cannot get online?

• Make sure you have DHCP selected in your IP-settings. If you do, but still cannot connect:
• On a Windows machine, open your command prompt and type:ipconfig /release, press enter. Type ipconfig /renew and press enter.
• on Mac OS X, change to manual IP, back to DHCP and click Apply. Try also Renew DHCP. De-selecting Interference Robustness from the Airport menu might also help.
• Restarting your Windows computer often helps when changing between networks if problems occur.
• If you are still having problems, you might have a firewall installed on your system. This is often the case when using a company laptop. Windows XP also often has the firewall preconfigured.

Removing USB devices safely
Before unplugging your memory stick, digital camera or other USB device, please make sure to follow this procedure to avoid possible data loss: left-click the device removal icon (with a card and an arrow) in the bottom right area of the screen, then select the name of your device, and wait until the system confirms that it is safe to remove the device.
