All tests done with my Artem card set to 128 wep. 1) Asus set to "Open & Shared" no wep key. - Cannot connect. xwlan says configuring all the time. 2) Asus set to "Open & Shared" wep key same as card. - Can connect. 3) Asus set to "Open & Shared" wep key different. - Cannot connect. Configuring all the time. 4) Asus set to "shared" + correct wep key. Cannot connect. Searching all the time. So it looks as if "shared" is not even being seen by my card. I cannot test with the card and no wep key as I have a problem with xwlan. What the hell is the difference between "Open & Shared" and "Shared"? My DLink only has "Open" or "Shared" and that works fine on shared with the same Artem card. My "Guess" would be "open and shared key" means it broadcasts so that it can be seen but you can only connect with the correct shared key. "shared" means it does not broadcast its presence and you still need the correct shared key to connect however here you also need to specify the correct SSID as well. Cheers/2 Ed.
