Consider the following scenario.

• You are running a Windows Vista-based computer.
• You use a wireless access point that is configured to use Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) and shared-mode network authentication.
• In the properties of the wireless network connection, you click View Wireless Networks, and then you click Choose a wireless network.

When you double-click the WEP-shared mode access point in this scenario, you cannot connect to the access point. Instead, you receive the following error message:

Windows cannot connect to access_point.
