i'm wanting to security-enable my wireless network, i can't get past the
wireless network properties section. The authentification defaults to open,
and the next section disabled. I can't add a password when i change these
settings. I'm earlier told to stay with the automatically assigned network
key as recommended. When i view the wireless networks in ranged i'm not
securely enabled. Do other see me as enabled.

Many thanks

Mikey

Hi
You have to start with your Wireless Router, and set in a matching way your
Wireless Client.
