To create a network profile for a Windows XP computer

NOTE: The product comes configured with a network profile with hpsetup as the network name (SSID). However, for security and privacy HP recommends you create a new network profile on your computer as described here.

1.In the Control Panel, double-clickNetwork Connections.

2.On the Network Connections window, right-click the Wireless Network Connection. If you see Enable on the pop-up menu, select it. Otherwise, if you see Disable on the menu, the wireless connection is already enabled.

3.Right-click the Wireless Network Connection icon, and then click Properties.

4.Click the Wireless Networks tab.

5.Select the Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings check box.

6.Click Add, and then do the following:

a. In Network name (SSID) box, type in a unique network name of your choice.

NOTE: The network name is case sensitive, so it is important to remember any uppercase (capital) and lowercase (small) letters.

b. If there is a Network Authentication list, select Open. Otherwise, go to the next step.

c. In the Data encryption list, select WEP.

NOTE: It is possible to create a network that does not use a WEP key. However, HP recommends using a WEP key in order to secure your network.

Alternatively, you can use HEX (hexadecimal) characters for the WEP key. A HEX WEP key must be 10 characters for 40 bit encryption, or 26 characters for 128 bit encryption.

f. In the Confirm network key box, type the same WEP key you typed in the previous step.

NOTE: You must remember the exact uppercase (capital) and lowercase (small) letters. If you enter your WEP key incorrectly on the product, the wireless connection will fail.

g. Write down the WEP key exactly as you typed it, including uppercase and lowercase letters.
