my question was if your wireless accesspoint or router
is set to OPEN or SHARED.
on my wireless router under security settings I have 2 options:
- security mode: I can set OPEN or SHARED
- cipher type: I can disble or enable WEP
if I set WEP on the router and set the security mode OPEN, then my windows
works as shared too, but the router is still OPEN.
my connection is working without WEP only,
but this is not what I want.
without WEP was working before I did this posting.
I need WEP and I want the connection with WEP !
