A successful connection to the AmigoPod Wireless network can be confirmed by double clicking on the 
network icon in the System Tray of the Windows Task bar to reveal the following status window. The 
connection duration, speed and signal strength can all be verified from this screen. 
 

 
Clicking on the Support tab of the same window will confirm that an IP Address has been successfully 
configured via DHCP.  
 
If either the Wireless connection has not been established or a DHCP address been configured then 
there is an issue with either the setup of the wireless card or potentially support for DHCP on the local 
LAN. Please refer to the manufacturers instructions for configuration of the wireless card and/or consult 
the local network administrator for advice on DHCP support.
