TROUBLESHOOTING
Cannot Connect to the Network
If your Card 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.
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”.
