Andy, Yeah, I tried a 40-bit key first, but WinXP seemed to want 104 bits (I seem to hazily remember - this was last week). Anyway, I'll try 40 again. Thanks.

I thought some of the early airports could only do 40bit WEP (they had an orinoco silver card inside.) Not sure why the Mac would work in that case, but it's so often the case that Macs "just work", isn't it ? Try cutting back to a 40-bit key and see if that helps. -- andyw at pobox.com Andy Warner Voice: (612) 801-8549 Fax: (208) 575-5634 _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Wireless Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.tcwug.org tcwug-list at tcwug.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tcwug-list _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Wireless Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.tcwug.org tcwug-list at tcwug.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tcwug-list
