Hi all, I've just reincarnated an old packard bell easy note about 3 years after it died, it's running xp and I'm having problems connecting to my existing wireless router. When I try to connect it's asking for a network key (WEP) for this router I've only ever used a password, when trying this a pop up says
"the network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits depending on your network configuration.This can be entered as 5 or 13 ascii characters or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters"
what the hell does this mean & how do I overcome it.I have 2 other laptops running vista which connect without a problem. Hope I've explained this ok & thanks in advance.
Cheers Larry
