Precautions for Operating System Support

If a problem occurs because of the reinstallation of other operating systems(OS) or a previous version of a OS pre-installed on this computer, or a software that does not support the OS, the company will not provide technical support, a replacement or refund, and if our service engineer visits you due to this problem, a service charge will be applied.

About the Product Capacity Representation Standard

The capacity of the storage device (HDD, SSD) of the manufacturer is calculated assuming that 1KB=1,000 Bytes.

However, the operating system (Windows) calculates the storage device capacity assuming that 1KB=1,024 Bytes, and therefore the capacity representation of the HDD in Windows is smaller than the actual capacity due to the difference in capacity calculation. (E.g. For a 80GB HDD, Windows represents the capacity as 74.5GB)

In addition, the capacity representation in Windows may be even smaller because some programs such as Recovery Solution may reside in a hidden area of the HDD.

What is an Access Point (AP)?

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.

■ Computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network

The small office network interconnects computers where wireless LAN is enabled wirelessly and is called Peer-to-Peer (or Ad HOC). This method enables the configuration of a small office network in one computer.

Then, another computer is connected to the computer wirelessly for communications.

For more information on how to establish connections, see the information from

Start > Help and Support > Networking and Web.

When you use Ad-Hoc, you have to change the McAfee Firewall settings.

A DVD drive is sold with an empty region code and the region code is set when the user inserts a DVD title into the drive for the first time. Whenever a DVD title is inserted with a region code different from that of the DVD drive, the region code of the DVD drive is automatically changed to the region code of the DVD title.

However, changing the region code of a DVD drive is limited to 5 changes. After that, the region code is permanently fixed to the last region code. If you need to change the region code after changing the code 5 times, contact a service center. Although a service center can help you in this case, you will be charged a service fee.

SAMSUNG NP-Q1UC - I cannot find an AP. - 1

I cannot connect to an AP. (The wireless connection is disconnected frequently.)

▶ Check the Network Key.

A Right-click the Wireless Network Connections icon from the Taskbar and click

on 'View available wireless networks'. If wireless networks are found, it indicates that the device is operating properly but the network settings may have a problem. Please check the Network Key (Encryption Key) and the AP settings.

▶ Check if there is a device nearby using the same frequency band.

A1 If there is a device nearby using the same frequency band such as another wireless LAN device, wireless video transceiver, microwave oven, plasma bulb, etc., channel interference may occur. If you experience interference from another device, it is recommended changing the AP channel.

A2 When operating in EEE802.11g mode, if there is a IEEE802.11b device operating nearby, you may experience low data rates or even disconnection as it operates in Hybrid mode.

▶ Check the authentication type.

A A connection may be disconnected after a period of time if the "Use IEEE 802.1x network authentication" option is selected when IEEE 802.1x authentication is not being used.

View the properties of the corresponding AP in the Wireless Network Properties. In the Authentication tab, unselect the “Use IEEE 802.1x authentication in this network” option.

For detailed information on the authentication server, ask your network administrator.

▶ Check the AP settings.

A1 Check if the surroundings are appropriate for a wireless LAN. A wireless LAN connection may be limited by the surrounding environment and distance. Obstacles such as walls and door mats affect the quality of the wireless LAN signal. You have to install an AP in a high, open position far away from any other radio signal sources. If the AP is excessively far away, or is installed at the end of a building and you are attempting to use the wireless LAN from the other end, you may not be able to use the wireless communication normally because the signal is blocked by obstacles between you and the AP (such as a wall).

A2 Check if the AP operates properly. If the AP is not operating properly, turn it off and on again and try again.

A3 Check if the AP firmware is the latest version. (For more information on the AP firmware, ask the AP manufacturer or your product provider.)
A4 Check if the AP is properly connected to the network. Connect the LAN cable from the AP to a computer and check if the network is connected properly.
A5 Check the Network Key (Encryption Key) settings again.

If the automatic password converting function (passphrase function) is enabled and the wireless connection is normal but you cannot send data over the connection, please enter the Network Key (Encryption Key) manually.

A6 Check the AP settings as follows.

If there are multiple APs running at the same time, check the channel setting of each AP. If the interval between the channels of the APs is narrow, you may experience electromagnetic interference. Set the channel numbers of the APs so that the internals between the channels are maximized. (E.g., Ch1, Ch5, Ch9, Ch13)

If the SSID option is set to Hide, you will not be able to find the AP on your computer. It is recommended unselecting the Hide option of the AP. SSID (Service Set ID) is a name used to distinguish a wireless LAN from other wireless LANs.

It is recommended using Long Preamble. Preamble is a signal for data transmission synchronization. Although some APs support Short Preamble, there might be a compatibility problem.

Because ‘Fixed’ channel selection is more stable then ‘Auto’ channel selection, ‘Fixed’ channel selection is recommended. It is recommended not using the ‘Block Any’ and ‘Any Connection Block’ functions. Although these functions block connections at the client side when the network name is Any or Blank, it may cause a compatibility problem.

For more information on the AP settings, refer to the owner's manual supplied with the AP.

SAMSUNG NP-Q1UC - I cannot connect to an AP. (The wireless connection is disconnected frequently.) - 1

Although a connection has been established, I cannot connect to the Internet.

▶ Check the TCP/IP settings.

A If you cannot connect to the Internet but you are connected to an AP, check if the TCP/IP settings are configured properly.

When you are not connected to an AP, an X mark appears over the 'Wireless Network Connections' (icon) icon in the Taskbar. If you double-click the icon, the Search for Wireless Connections window appears. Reconnect to a wireless network referring to the descriptions of Connecting to a Wireless LAN in the Using the Network section.

When you are connected to an AP, an X mark appears over the 'Wireless Network Connections' (icon in the Taskbar. Double-click the icon and check if the IP address is properly allocated on the Support tab. If the IP address is not properly allocated, the IP address will be displayed as follows; (e.g. 169.254.xxx.xxx).

If your network does not support DHCP, you have to manually configure an IP address by asking your network administrator.

In addition, even if your network supports DHCP, the Internet connection may not be available if the DHCP server fails to allocate an IP address to your computer.

LAN (Local Area Network)

A communications network connecting computers, printers and other devices within a local area such as within a building. A LAN enables all connected devices to interact with other devices on the network. The current LAN uses the Ethernet media access control method developed in the early 1980s. To connect to an Ethernet, a network card called a LAN card, Ethernet card or network interface card is required. To exchange data between computers, a protocol is required besides the hardware equipment. Windows XP uses TCP/IP as the default protocol.

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

There are Passive Matrix and Active Matrix LCD types. This computer uses the Active Matrix type LCD called a TFT LCD. Since an LCD is implemented by transistors instead of a cathode-ray tube unlike a CRT, its size can be slim. And because it does not blink, it reduces eye strain.

System File

System Files refer to files that are read and used by the Windows operating system. In general, system files must not be deleted or moved.

USB (Universal Serial Bus)

This refers to a serial interface standard developed to replace the conventional interface standards such as Serial and PS/2. While USB 1.1 supports 12Mbps (12 million bits per second), USB 2.0 supports a data rate that is 40 times (480Mpbs) faster than that of USB 1.1. The data rate of USB 2.0 is equivalent to that of IEEE1394. Therefore USB 2.0 is used for A/V devices supported by IEEE 1394 and a 2nd HDD and CDRW that require a high data rate.
