wireless networking in windows 2000?

sushiboysushiboy Registered User regular
I have a Win2k box on an unsecured wireless network. I want to setup WEP encryption, but cant find where to put the key in in Win2k. I looked at the properties of the connection, but there is nothing about wireless there. There has to be somewhere were it tells me the wireless network name, where I can put in the encryption key, etc. Anyone have experience with this?

    Windows 2000 doesn't have any inbuilt capability for wireless encryption etc settings. (they only added that stuff in XP and up) If you want to do that you need to rely on third party config utils (which typically come with the wifi card)
