I am having difficulty setting up Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

client  card  must  be  set  to  the  exact  same  key.

publication,  a  security  patch  download  is  available,  for  free,
 
from  Microsoft.  This  patch  works  only  with  the  Windows  XP

also  use  that  same  key.
1.   Double-click  the  Signal  Indicator  icon  to  bring  up  the  “Wireless
