Troubleshooting• Make sure your wireless association is to SSID: IEEE
– There are several other wireless networks in the area
• Make sure you have an IP address– Run IPCONFIG and be sure your IP address is 10.0.x.x
• If you can’t access or find a particular server– Ping it – is the address being pinged in some other range than our
local network 10.0.x.x? Is the name being pinged something like pluto.yourcompany.com? That means you have some other host with the same name on your home network.
– To solve, run: IPCONFIG /flushdns from a command prompt to flush your DNS cache.
