WEP key must be 10 characters for 40 bit encryption, or 26 characters for 128 bit
encryption.

you must remember which letters are uppercase and lowercase.

•

Communication mode: ad hoc

•

Encryption: enabled

To connect to a wireless ad hoc network

Press the Wireless button.

Press the down arrow button to highlight Wireless Setup Wizard, and then press
OK.
This runs the Wireless Setup Wizard. The setup wizard searches for available
networks, and then displays a list of detected network names (SSIDs). The
infrastructure networks appear first in the list, followed by available ad hoc networks.
The networks with the strongest signal appear first, the weakest appear last.

On the display, look for the network name you created on your computer (for example,
Mynetwork).
