Well, I'm actually using a 64 hex digit key (which is 256 bits). That's 32 BYTES. There seems to be some confusion over "keys" and "pass phrases"... the KEY is actually 256 bits (32 bytes, each byte with a decimal value of 0-255). A pass phrase on the other hand is ascii text (each byte with a decimal value of 32-127) The phrase is then "hashed/encrypted/manipulated" to produce the *key*. What I'm trying to avoid is reconfiguring the rest of my wireless devices (including SqueezeBox)... If I change the key, I have to change it for everything that uses it. Since SqueezeBox is working fine, I expected Transporter to as well. :-) And SlimServer did.. and I think an earlier version of SC did as well (or maybe the key was already set up and changing from SS to SC didn't affect that part. Something changed in the TP firmware and wasn't caught during regression testing.
