PC is connected to a sharing device (or hub). How do I connect when using dynamic IP?

PC and NetPCStation dynamic IP is automatically allocated by the router (or hub) and the user does not need to set this manually.
From the settings window, select "dynamic IP" then install.

PC is connected to a sharing device (or hub). How do I connect when using fixed IP?

A-5
PC and NetPCStation fixed IP must be set for each NetPCStation using the router (or hub). (For each unique IP, inquire your
network administrator.) Select "Fixed IP" in the screen below and install.

Message reading "DHCP server was not found" appears and it does not connect.

Currently, NetPCStation IP settings has been set to automatic IP. Click the "Option” or "Setup” button to open the settings screen

When "Connect" button is clicked, "Host unreachable¨ appears and the connection is not established.

"Host unreachable” is a message that appears when there is not PC to connect to on the network. Check to see if the PC is on and if the
PC is on, check the PC's IP address and verify that the IP address in the NetPCStation Terminal server IP address is the same as the PC's IP.
PC's IP address can be obtained using ipconfig.exe in the command prompt. Check to see if the LAN cable is connected properly and if
using hub or IP sharing device, check to see if the hub or the IP sharing device is on.

When using NetPCStation, only the mouse moves and nothing else works. IF you check the status of the station from
the PC "NCT-2000-XP", it is shown as being connected normally.

Can happen when the LAN cable disconnect while you are using the monitor, or an error occurs in the hub or IP sharing device. This
occurs because the security for the communication with the PC is canceled and it can no longer receive data. However, NetPCStation
controller continues to operate the mouse so, it may look like the monitor is working. In addition, when the power being transmitted
to the network equipment is unstable or other reasons cause the connection to be dropped temporarily, data transmission will be
interrupted, causing this type of situation. In this case, use the NetPCStation power button to reset, then reconnect. Use the sameuser
ID to login to the previous session. First, check to make sure the LAN cable is connected properly, then check if the hub or IP sharing
device is working properly, and check if enough power is being supplied to the network equipment. For a problem like this, you may
want to use UPS (uninterrupted power supply) device to stabilize the power supply.

Can I use 10Mbps LAN card and a dummy hub (or IP sharing mdevice)?

Currently, our product provides optimal performance with 100M LAN cards and using hub (or IP sharing device). If 10M LAN card or older
dummy hub is used, the PC may not be able to communicate at high speeds with multiple NetPCStation units, or due to the reduction
in network performance from using half duplex method, network efficiency will drop and system performance will decrease.
 APPENDIX
What kind of games can NetPCStation support?

Currently, only 2D games are supported. In addition, online casual games (Java/Flash) are supported. Games not supported are high
performance 3D games that require high speed GPU and hardware accelerators. Also CD games that checks for IP and only allows it to
be played on one PC cannot be supported by NetPCStation.

When video files are played in full screen mode in NetPCStation, the screen freezes.

Currently, our product is not the same as a PC which has powerful graphic processors and memory, therefore, we do not have such
restrictions. Expanding the size of the video file to full screen involves the continuous receipt of screen from the host PC. This requires
much CPU and memory usage and can decrease performance of other users systems. We recommend that you use the small screen to
play video files. Our product is optimized for office environment and its CPU resources have been focused to offer optimized sharing of
internet searching, word processing, spreadsheet application.

NetPCStation does not work in Windows 98.

NetPCStation supports Windows2000 Professional, Windows XP Home, and Windows 0XP Professional only. It does not support other
OS, and compatibility with future OS will require separate support and cost.

It worked fine before, but one day suddenly it stopped connecting.

Microsoft often releases patches for various bugs and the users apply these patches through Windows Update function without
considering the appropriateness of such updates. In certain cases, an upgrade from Microsoft may influence the existing NetPCStation
driver and cause it to not work. Unless there is a strong need to do so, we do not recommend that you run the Windows Update each
time. When such conflicts with Windows Updates occur, we will work as quickly as we can to make the updated version available on
the FTP. However, certain changes require more time to fix. In such cases, we recommend that you temporarily suspend Windows
A-8

Update and wait for a new version release from our company.

I would like to improve the speed.

There are various ways. CPU with HT (hyper threading) provides many benefits and large volume memory and fast rpm hard disk also
helps. In addition, you may want to install additional LAN cards if multiple connections are made to a host PC through a switching
hub (or switch), and distribute appropriate number of station connections per LAN card. However, more important than anything,
you should avoid using applications such as graphic editors and video editors that require a lot of memory because use of such
application will lower the performance at all stations. This technology does not allow 1 Pentium 4 computer to be used like multiple
Pentium 4 computers, but allows that computer to be used as 5 Celeron PCs. However, if small number of users uses this system,
it may perform like 3 Pentium 3 computers, and therefore appropriate distribution of PC's computing power is necessary.However,
if later on, the host PC is replaced with a new, faster PC, or an additional PC is added, the NetPCStation systems’ performance
will increase.
