I am using the MN-730 for setting up an AD HOC wireless
network.

The problem is that I am not using security but under
connection status it says Incorrect Security Key and no
other computers are able to access the Internet.

My Network authentication is OPEN
My Data Encryption is DISABLED

I am not using a base station.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

hi,
incorrect wep key is something common issue which we face
in wireless g adapter.
before getting to final conclusion i.e. replacement try
this step
1) Check for ip address it will show u 169.254.x.x
try to release and renew the ip address when u renew
the ip address there would 2 possiblities
i) Winsock error : if it winsock error then it means
that TCP/Ip Stack got corrupted u have to delete winsock
folder and reinstall tcp/ip and ur issue get resolved
ii) DHCP Request timed out : Which means that it's not
recognizing the signal, Check for wireless interference
and distance
2) If everything seems to be fine that is there is no
wireless interference and winsock error then rigt click
my computer=> Hardware => Device Manger => View Show
Hidden device then click on plus sign of network adapter
and uninstall wirelss Adapter MN-730 and uninstall
software, restart the computer and reinstall it back
hope this should work
Rgds,
Steve
