wireless device appears to be functioning properly but you cannot connect to the network, the problem
may be that there is a mismatch between the
Network name (SSID)
and
Wireless network key (WEP)
settings in your Wireless
Network Properties and the name and WEP key of the network you are trying to connect to. As explained in
Completing the setup
, the
network name and WEP key are case sensitive. Verify that the spelling and case of these parameters are correct and that the settings
are exactly the same on all computers on the network.
If you have verified that the spelling and case of these parameters are correct and that the settings are exactly the same on all
computers on the network and you are still unable to connect to the network, see
Performance and connectivity problems
