Issue
I cannot attach to my old network that does
not support 802.1x authentication, but is
using WEP encryption.
I made changes, but they do not appear to
have taken effect.
How do I enable peer-to-peer (ad-hoc)
mode to have two clients communicate
without an AP?

Possible Causes and Solutions
• Verify that you can see your SSID in the Available
Networks list on the Wireless Networks tab. Move the
SSID to the top of the Configured Networks list so that it is
accessed first. If the SSID is not there, you can add it
manually and enter the SSID as the network name.
• Select the SSID and tap Properties.
• On the Profile Info tab, select Do active scan if your AP
does not broadcast its SSID.
• On the WEP Mgmt tab, select Use key for data
encryption and Use key to authenticate with AP.
• Enter the WEP Key.
• On the Protocol tab, select Renew IP Address (unless
you have entered one manually separate from the Client)
• Note that the port status indicator in the main screen reads
"Associated," not "Authenticated" when the connection is
complete; although the log file will indicate "Entered
AUTHENTICATED state."
Always tap OK before exiting a screen you have changed.
Then restart the Client from the Client menu on the main
screen.
• On the Wireless Networks tab, add a new profile to the
Configured Network list.
• On the Profile Info tab, give each side the same network
name (SSID).
• Select Peer-to-Peer Group (ad hoc mode) and Do
active scan.
• On the WEP management section, select Use key for data
encryption and enter an identical key for both clients.
• Verify that this network profile is the first (or only) one in
the Configured Network list and try to restart both clients
at roughly the same time.
