Hi, Thank you for your prompt reply, I tried doing what you suggested, connected my laptop to the router and set the WEP key on the router interface (192.168.1.1). After doing that I tried to set the access point configuration by making the following changes to /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf- IFNAME[4]="wlan0" IPADDR[4]="192.168.1.35" NETMASK[4]="255.255.255.0" USE_DHCP[4]="no" DHCP_HOSTNAME[4]="" DHCP_KEEPRESOLV[4]="yes" #DHCP_KEEPNTP[4]="yes" #DHCP_KEEPGW[4]="yes" #DHCP_IPADDR[4]="" WLAN_ESSID[4]=RT2561_6 WLAN_MODE[4]=Managed ##WLAN_RATE[4]="54M auto" #WLAN_CHANNEL[4]="auto" WLAN_KEY[4]="0x1111111111" ##WLAN_IWPRIV[4]="AuthMode=WPAPSK EncrypType=TKIP WPAPSK=7B1ABEEB5D197741923ED26727569C365E31212096A0EAFAD563B268BAD01CAF TxRate=0" #WLAN_WPA[4]="wpa_supplicant" WLAN_WPADRIVER[4]="ndiswrapper" the saved the file and restarted rc.inet1 by - $sudo /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart At this stage, I get an error stating that the password is invalid. Then I tried to remove 0x from the key. The password gets accepted but the connection doesn't come up. What could be going wrong? Aditya Pratap V.
