HEX password must be 10 characters for 40 bit encryption, or 26 characters for

Create a network profile for other operating systems
If you have an operating system other than Windows XP or Mac OS X, HP
recommends that you use the configuration program that came with your wireless
LAN card. To find the configuration program for your wireless LAN card, access your
computer's list of programs.
Using the LAN card configuration program, create a network profile that has the
following values:
● Network name (SSID): Mynetwork
● Communication mode: Ad Hoc
● Encryption: enabled
Note You should create a network name that is not the same as the
example shown here, such as your initials. Just remember that the
network name is case-sensitive. Therefore, you must remember which
letters are uppercase and lowercase.

connect your HP All-in-One to a wireless ad hoc network.

2. Press
until Network is highlighted, then press OK.
The Network Menu appears.
3. Press 4.
This runs the Wireless Setup Wizard. The setup wizard searches for available
networks, and then displays a list of detected network names (SSIDs). If more
than one network appears, the infrastructure networks appear at the top of the
list, the ad hoc networks at the bottom.
4. On the color graphics display, look for the network name you created on your
computer (for example, Mynetwork).
5. Use the arrow buttons to highlight the network name, and then press OK.
If you found your network name and selected it, go on to step 6. However, if you
do not see your network name in the list, do the following:
