the Windows XP Wireless
Zero Configuration icon
will appear in your comput-er’s
system tray (see Figure
7-1). Double-click the icon.
2. The screen that appears will show any available wireless network. Select a

To find the WEP encryption key settings of the other wireless devices in
your network, such as an access point or wireless router, you may use any

key entries. If you are using other manufacturers’ access points, refer
to their documentation for more information about WEP encryption.

appear if your connection is
active.
For more information about WEP,
refer to your access point’s user
guide, or visit www.linksys.com.
