Joe,

Thanks for that. THat has been the biggest help so far. It turns out I had not added a reference to GHIElectronics.NETMF.Net, thats why I could not effectivly deal with the exception or find the error message and error code. At least I know what the error code is now.

I have been getting error code 3. Which is Authenticaion failure or Wrong pass phrase. The thing about it is that the pass phrase I was passing into the method call was correct. I checked it serveral times with other devices. I set a break point at the Join method call and checked the properties of MyNet. The security mode is 3, WEP, which is correct. All the other properties were also correct. I know that the string I am passing is correct.

Any other ideas?

 Debug.Print("Program Started");

            wifi.UseDHCP();

            WiFi_RS21.WiFiNetworkInfo MyNet = wifi.Search("wireless");
           
            try 
                { 

                wifi.Join(MyNet,"15128"); 

                }
                
            catch (WiFi.WiFiException ex)
            {
                Debug.Print("Exception was Error: " + ex.Message);
                Debug.Print("Error code: "+ex.errorCode);
                Debug.Print("Error MSG "+ex.ErrorMsg.ToString());
                Debug.Print("Stack trace: " + ex.StackTrace.ToString());
            }

            if (wifi.IsNetworkConnected)
            {
                led.TurnGreen();
            }

I believe the length of a wep key must be at least 10 hex digtits long?

try hex equivalent of five char password.
