<snip> There are 3 options of entering the wep key 1. Hex 2. ASCII 3. Passphrase I suspect you're using 3 but really need 2. The difference is that the Passphrase option is used to generate a key, while the ASCII string is the key. If using the old method of configuring - then it should be a radio button selection to pick ASCII, or if using network manager - use the drop down as suggested above and select the ASCII option - something like "..48/104bit ASCII" -RikD -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
