Hi there! I just purchased the Microsoft MN-720 cardbus G
adapter for my laptop, and for the life of me I cannot get
the WEP or WPA security to connect with my SMC Barricade
2804WBR wireless router. No matter what I enter or even
reduce my router's wireless security to WEP 64-bit (from
128 bit), the WEP never works. Plus, whenever I try to
engage WPA, the Microsoft software states that WPA is not
supported on the version that I am running (driver
v3.60.7.0 and utility v2.2.0.731). However, if I do not
turn on WEP, everything works fine.
Note that I have updated my SMC firmware to the latest
version available, and I have a different laptop (Dell)
with a built-in Wi-Fi, and it works fine with the SMC
Barricade running WPA security.
I have manually entered the settings using the MN-710
utility. The wizard is basically useless, and even states
that I have my WEP settings incorrect when it tries to
connect to the wireless router, and no wireless security
was setup on the router. Plus, I am running the July 2004
edition of the MN-720 software.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advanced. --GIF
