In the GUI enter the ESSID to be the same as your Windows Config. It might be called a different name in Windows. Basically this us the name of the wireless network. If you do not know how to set it, leave it as "any" Enter MODE=Managed Enter the RATE=11M Enter the Encryption key - This *must* be the same as in Windows If your Windows key is an Ascii string then prefix it with s: As in s:my_key If your Key is a Hex number then enter it as AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF You can leave the other parameters blank. If you get your IP address via DHCP from your wireless router then leave the dhcp box ticked. If not untick it and enter an IP address. When you exit the wizard with 'Finish' the light on the wireless card will light and the interface will start working. (If you got that encryption key right) Do *NOT* press OK to exit the drakconnect GUI A bug will cause you to lose the config you just made.(Bug 1881- Still not fixed in 9.2) Instead exit with 'Cancel' derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
