SYMPTOMS
When you try to connect to a network resource using a WinLAN network card by Apexx Technology, the following error message is displayed:

The device does not exist on the network.



CAUSE
The network resource that you are trying to connect to does not have a unique network address. WinLAN cards require that a unique network address be set through Network Setup.



RESOLUTION
To correct the error message, do the following:


 * 1) Open the Network Setup icon.
 * 2) Choose the Drivers button, then choose the Setup button.
 * 3) Choose the Advanced button, then choose the Configuration button. (This opens the Network Address dialog box.)
 * 4) Make sure that the Network Address setting is unique for the network.

All cards default to address 4 during the setup process; therefore, you need to change the number. Valid selections are from 4 to 254. Save your selection and then restart your computer.
