emtech hath wroth:

Find the list of known SSID's to connect to and either modify or delete the one you just added. The list can be found with: Control Panel -> Network -> Wireless Right click on Wireless (and I forgot where you go from there). If you decide to modify, there's a page where it asks for the type of encryption and the encryption key. Then "scan for networks" or something like that, and your SSID should reappear. (Sorry to be so vague but I don't have an XP box in front of me a the moment).

For WEP, I suggest you use the Hex key, and not the ASCII key. There are two different algorithms for converting ASCII to Hex and Windoze XP only supports one of them. Hex always works, but ASCII can sometimes screwup.

Thanks to both of you for your quick replies. Works perfectly. I knew there had to be a configuration option somewhere; I just got lost looking for it. :)

Sometimes screws up, I've never seen it work, you must have the luck of the Irish if it has ever worked for you.
