Can't use my shared WEP key to connect
I recently installed vista. I have a wireless PCI card installed. I can connect to any unsecured wireless connection, but when i try to connect to my own wireless network, it says the network key i used is invaild. I was previously using XP and the key worked fine. They key also works fine on my powerbook. It is a shared WEP key, 10 digit alphanumeric. I saw a site about the steps you need to take to use a shared wep key in vista, but when i try to enter the key a pop up says it is invalid and i need to use 5 or 13 characters. Anyone had an idea of what is going on? -- JamesD ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JamesD's Profile: http://vista64.net/forums/member.php?userid=598 View this thread: http://vista64.net/forums/showthread.php?t=24818

Can't use my shared WEP key to connect
likewise i did the same, i found that after installing Vista i had to reset
the router and then apply the same key and it worked. i could then join all the computers to the network with the same key. "JamesD" wrote: I recently installed vista.
