If you connect to your desired network name, and enter the Key/password when requested, and still can not connect:

• you entered the wrong Key (WEP key) value and need to correct it, or
• the connecting dialog hangs with “authorizing…”

You will need to manually change your wireless settings as indicated below:

• Open up the wireless status box by clicking on your wireless device icon in the system tray.
• select properties

• select wireless networks tab

• select Your Network and properties, or
• use New to create and entry for your network.

• 1) if key is already correct, move to the authentication tab
• 2) otherwise enter the correct key twice here and hit save

• Disable this checkbox and click OK. You should be able to connect without the 'authorizing…' hang up.
