SECTION B: SHARED KEY AUTHENTICATION

By default, the 802.11b PCI Card uses Open System Authentication.  If your 802.11b 
network uses "WEP for Encryption and Authentication", then you need to change the card's 
Authentication Algorithm to Shared Key Authentication before the card will associate 
with one of your Access Points.

NOTE: The 802.11b PCI Card does not support the Harmony 802.11b Access Point's Use WEP 
for Authentication Only option.

Follow these steps to change the card's Authentication Type to "Shared Key":

1. Open the Control Panel's Network Connections icon.

2. Double-click the LAN connection that corresponds to the 802.11b PCI Card.

"Shared Key".
