A user in the sales department returns from a field trip and reports that he cannot connect to the network. You run the configuration utility for the wireless LAN adapter. The status of the wireless network connection is shown as Not Linked. When you attempt to scan for the network, a connection cannot be made. The configuration for the LAN adapter and the wireless network connection is shown in the figure.

  1. Select the Network Authentication (Shared mode) check box.
  2. Clear the Key is provided for me automatically check box.
  3. Type the WEP network key information for the wireless LAN.
  4. Uncheck the “This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network” check box.
Explanation
Answer - D - To be able to connect to the organization’s network, you should uncheck the “This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network” check box.

Key Takeaway - The image shows that the "This is a computer-to-computer (ad hoc) network: wireless access points are not used" check box is checked. Since the organization is using a wireless access point, this is an infrastructure type network. Therefore, this checkbox should be unchecked. This check box would have to be checked if it was a peer- to- peer or an ad hoc network
