P O I N T

When using ADSL (PPPoE) with the infrastructure network to connect to the Internet, you must change the computer’s MTU size set. To change MTU size, refer to the manual that comes with the access point.

*40 bit and 104 bit encryption is the wireless LAN equivalent of 64 bit and 128 bit encryption, as set by Microsoft and wireless LAN manufacturers. This is the same encryption rate that is used by the Windows XP operating system, and was selected in order to align it closer to the wireless LAN standard. For consistency, the Windows 2000 utilities reflect the same modes.

Outside of wireless LAN environments, encryption is generally set at either 64 bit or 128 bit. However, the wireless LAN standard requires that 24 bits be reserved for fixed data. As a result, the user can only use 40 bits (64 minus 24) or 104 bits (128 minus 24) for encryption. This requirement also fixes the number of characters used for 128 bit encryption to 13 which is calculated as (13 x 8 bits = 104).

NETWORK CONNECTION: WINDOWS 2000

The section describes how to set the network connection for a computer with Windows 2000.

Network Settings

In this section, you set “TCP/IP Settings,” and complete “Checking Computer Name and Workgroup,” required for the network connection.
