1. introduction
1.1 What is Wireless 11b PCI Card
MSI’s Wireless 11b PCI Card is a cost effective solution
for desktop PC. It complies with IEEE 802.11b standard
and provides 11 Mbps data rate. The Wireless 11b PCI
Card enables any desktop PC to share a broadband
connection, files and printers over the network without
the time and expense of Ethernet cabling. In addition,
with 64-/128-bit Privacy Key and IEEE 802.11i TKP, network connection is highly secured.
Based on direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technology operating in the 2.4 GHz Industrial, Science and
Medical band, the Wireless 11b PCI Card complies with
WiFi, ensuring interoperability with other compliant wireless LAN products.

1.2 How Wireless 11b PCI Card works
Ad -h oc Netwo rki ng Mod e --- An Ad-hoc (or
"spontaneous") network is a local area network or other
small network, especially one with wireless or temporary
plug-in connections, in which some of the network devices are part of the network only for the duration of a
communications session. Users on the network can share
files, print to a shared printer, and access the Internet
with a shared modem. In this kind of network, new devices can be quickly added; however, users can only communicate with other wireless LAN computers that are in
the wireless LAN workgroup, and are within range.

Wireless 11b PCI Card User’s Guide
Infrastructure Networking Mode--- Infrastructure networking differs from Ad-hoc networking is that it includes
an Access Point. In an Infrastructure networking, the
Access Point can manage the bandwidth to maximize
bandwidth utilization. Additionally, the Access Point enables users on a wireless LAN to access an existing wired
network, allowing wireless users to take advantage of the
wired networks resources, such as Internet, email, file
transfer, and printer sharing. The scale and range of the
Infrastructure networking are larger and wider than that of
the Ad-hoc networking.

your shared disk drives and folders. Any other computer (user) will be asked to enter the password you
designate here before accessing the disk drive or
folder. Two passwords are used to give two levels of
security (or access) to others on the network using
the Depends on Password setting. Leaving the Password boxes empty will give everyone on the network
access to the disk drive or folder.
16. Click OK to continue. You will be prompted to enter
the password(s) you provided for verification. Type
the password(s) just as you entered them again.
17. Now you may access this disk drive or folder from
another computer on your network. You may do so
by double-clicking the My Network Places icon on
your desktop or inside Windows Explorer.
18. Navigate to the computer with the shared disk drive or
folder (recognized by the Computer Name you
provided) and double-click. Now you should see the
disk drive or folder, and double-click. If you specified
a password when sharing this disk drive or folder,
you will be asked for the password.
19. You can access a disk drive or folder shared over the
network from most Windows ® 98/ME/2000/XP
applications. You can map these disk drives and folers
to a drive letter on another computer to make this
process easier. For example, on a computer where
you are accessing a shared folder from another
computer, inside Windows Explorer right-click and
select Map Network Drive. Now you are able to
assign an available drive letter. Checking Reconnect at logon allows Windows to map this network
drive each time when you start your computer.
