In Shard Key Authentication algorithm, you must have security on, the algorithm should be different, and some steps use packets with enc ryption by transferring a challenge text. In order to choose which authentication algorithm will be used, you must know which one the AP supports first. Most AP only supports Open System. the icon will not appear in the taskbar. Ø Key Setting Wireless LAN Monitor Utility With the WLAN PCI Adapter utility, users can configure all the functions provided by the WLAN Monitor Utility . Double-click t he utility icon that appears in the taskbar. The monitor Utility includes four tabs: Configuration, Link State, Security and Statistics. In Ad Hoc mode, the Channel and SSID must be the same among stations so that the computers can communicate within the local LAN properly. Moreover, all connected computers should have the same net ID and subnet ID, you can follow the procedure below to check whether you have the same net ID and subnet ID among stations: 1. Right -click on the Network Neighborhood on your desktop and then click on "Properties". In Configuration, click on "TCP/IP -> Wireless PCI Adapter" and then click on "Properties". Click on "Specify an IP Address" and make sure having the same net ID and subnet ID of all the connected computers. You can choose one of the four Keys you typed (Key1~Key4 as the WEP Key. , ) and select the key length as 64 bits or 128 bits. Caution: WEP Key needs to be the same for all IEEE802. 11b stations. Follow the steps below to set your WEP: 1. Select the Encryption type: 64bit or 128bit. Type WEP Key: If you select 64bit, you must type 10 values in the following range (0~F , hexadecimal) from Key1 to Key 4 space. Besides, if you select 128 bit, you must type 26 values (0~F , hexadecimal) in each WEP Key from Key 1 to Key 4. [. . . ] Check between the linking stations if it is set on the same the IP network. Ø Channel: It shows radio channel numbers that used for networking. The Channel number must be the same among stations, so that computers can communicate within the local LAN.
