I do understand your configuration and your question. And I would
re-affirm that it is not the correct device for what you want to accomplish

Are you using WEP to authenticate to the router?? If so, when you
installed the wireless card, you should have configured the WEP Key. There
should not be any logon requirement for the wireless router. And when WEP
authenticates then your card gets its IP, then you should be able to connect
and log on to the SBS server
