Dear mccm,

If you cannot connect and you can't remember the security
key (WEP?):

(1) reset the MS base station by inserting a small,
pointy object, like a ballpoint pen cartridge, in the
hole below the antenna. This will set factory defaults.

(2) Using IE6, type the address 192.168.2.1 on the
address line. This will access the Base Station
Management Tool.

(3) access the "wireless security" page on the Base
Stationa Management Tool. Reset the security key.

(4) your adapter card security key setting are easily set
from the WLAN connection - TCP/IP properties.

Good Luck
