TROUBLESHOOTING
Cannot connect to the network.
If your Bridge 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. 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.
The computers do not appear in the “My Computer” window or in the “My
Network Places” window.
