won’t work! Also, try setting the configuration without security first of all. Once you have the connection working that way 
you can then go and add the security. 
 
First of all ensure the PCMCIA card is correctly installed with no resource/driver problems. Next goto Control Panel/Network: 

 
Next select the Properties of the PCMCIA card (PRISM2 IEEE...) and then go to 
Advanced: 
 
Now it’s just a case of ensuring that every setting of the card matches the router.... 

 
First of all check the Fragmentation 
Threshold – the default setting for 
the router is 2304 (check this on the 
‘IEEE 80211b/Advanced’ screen). 
Alter the card setting to match. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
Next check the Network Type – when using the VI router (or an access 
point) you need to use 

Infrastructure

. The other possible setting is 

Peer-to-Peer which is the setting you use when configuring and client-
to-client setup. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
Next ensure that the Preamble is set the same as the router; normal 
setting is Long TX.
