I can't get a WEP connection

Hello

I bought a DI 624 router and Wg511T card for my notebook. Although the
wireless network is working I can't figure out how to go share keys and
WEP.

Ok. I would like to do:
a) Only authorized can connect to my net.
b) all connections have to be encrypted.

What I have done so far as:

a) I have changed the setting on http:/192.168.0.1 (wireless) to wep
and share keys.
b) I have typed 4 keys - 10 digits each.
c) I have changed 511 settings to acommodate the wep changes. Key 1 to
Key 1 etc.

I have noticed so far:

a) no wep and share keys - ok.
b) wep and share keys.
b.1) 511 doesn't find any available channel.
b.2) when it does ( I am not sure when) dhcp doesn't seem to send any
ip to the card. So no internet connection.
Any help?

Many thanks

Ed

First of all, you have two outstanding devices. Now to answer you
questions....Both the DI-624 and the Netgear WG511T card work wel
together and both support WPA encryption. The DI-624 is limited t
TKIP while the WG511T supports both TKIP and AES. Anyway, WPA is fa
more secure than WEP. By the way, I am assuming you have the D-Lin
DI-624 rev C and I am also assuming you're using the Netgear utility t
control the WG511T. First, access the DI-624's menu. Under th
wireless, you should see a combination of the following: Mode - G onl
or B & G ( I recommend you select G only) Encryption - Selec
WPA-PSK. Type in a LONG nonsense passphrase and copy it. You wil
need to enter the same passphrase into the Netgear utility. Clic
apply or okay at the bottom of the screen. Example of nonsens
passphrase:

209374afGZxy444JHB0900plLmVVX#-&7&^663210(((asCU<)* rWQC?//:"B

Afterwards, the DI-624 will reboot. Now open the Netgear Utility. I
the SSID field, make sure that the SSID matches that of the one in th
DI-624's menu. In the advanced section, You will see WPA. Paste o
type in your passphrase and click apply. You should now be able t
connect securely to your DI-624. In another section of the Netgea
utility, you can uncheck the box labeled wireless B. This will enhanc
your speed. For the record, I am not at home in front of my system s
I may have missed a few steps or mentioned the advanced tab when i
might have been labeled differently. Anyway, you should be able t
figure it out. Take care

Hello

I bought a 311T too but the card won't power on (so I don't know if
they are that great :-).

Problems:

I couldn't find any place where I have the option of choosing Mode-G
only B & G. The box of my DI 624 says: H/W ver.: C3 F/W Ver 2.42.

Am I doing something wrong?

Many many thanks

Ed

I was playing around with my Netgear WGR614v4 and WG511.
I had a working open connection.
I changed to WEP-128 and couldn't make a connection.
I changed the SSID on the router, and the WG511 popped up a WEP-128
passphrase box, and the connection was made.
I turned off WEP, back to the original open connection. I couldn't
connect. Changed the SSID on the router and got a connection.

Then I went into the WG511 preferred networks portion and deleted the
extra profiles.

If there is a stored profile of the same SSID, then you might need to
either remove that profile or change the SSID on the router when making
changes to the security style.

Hello

I have installed the newest beta version for the 511T. Now I can see
that there is an advance option. I entered the nonsense phrase there
and it worked!. The lock is on and the connection is now 108 MBbps.

Just to be a 100% sure:

a) My wireless network will only allow connections from PCs with the
nonsense phrase, right?
b) All connections are now encrypted, aren't they?

My next question (it should be a new thread) is: how can I access the
files on my desktop hardwired to the wireless modem?

Many many thanks

Eduardo

PS. I couldn't figure out how to get WEP working but I guess that it
is not worth pursing it rught now.

Assuming pc and laptop are on the same network, ideally with the same
workgroup name. make sure you use the same usernames and passwords on both
machines, share a drive to the users you want, you should be able to browse
to the pc. Unless you are in an AD domain XP and 2000 user simple security
(username/password) which be default is used for authentication
automatically when you browse to a pc.

So lets say you logon both machines as jsmith as long as passwords are the
same on both machines you should be able to browse ok. I've not used XP home
edition so no idea if its the same, plus I hate the simple file sharing
thing, most annoying.....

I'm glad you found success! Now to answer your questions

1. Yes, any PC wanting access, wirelessly, to your network need to b
configured with the correct passphrase

2. Yes, all of your wireless traffic is now encrypted between th
wireless device and the Wireless Router / AP and vice versa

Take care and enjoy your Christmas
