From: France on 19 May 2008 13:27 Hi! I have created an Ad Hoc Home network: - PC Desktop Windows XP SP3, USB Adapter DWL-G132 updated (for the problem of *.dll after SP3 ), modem ADSL etc.... - Notebook samsung r700 Vista Home Premium SP1with Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945BG Network Connection First i have installed the USB adapter on Desktop, then i have created the ad hoc home network (IP manually assigned etc). Second i have connected the notebook to the ad hoc network. All works fine, and i connect to the web by the desktop pc, BUT i) i can only use WEP (not WPA, but the use adapter can use WPA encryption) ii) with the command "netsh wlan show all" i can see that the radio frequency is 802.11b (Mbps 125.5 11) and NOT 802.11g (both USB Adapter dlink and notebook can use 802.11g) iii) I have to connect from notebook always manually (not auto connection).... what is wrong? I heve tried installing and re-installing USB adapter but nothing changes. Any suggestion? thank you and sorry for my english France

From: France on 19 May 2008 14:39 Thank you for the answer, but I had already installed the hotfix. Few days ago I installed SP3, too (which, I think enables WPA encryption on XP platform). francesco
