Alright. I tried your suggestiom and rebooted. Now here's what happens.

This network is encrypted. So I connect, enter the passphrase, and Login to Network. It waits, shows that it's attempting to connect, then fails and brings up the dialogue box asking for my passphrase again. No matter how many times I try, I get the same result. No connection.

A passphrase or encryption key is required to access the wireless network 'Glasser'.
Wireless Security: WEP 128-bit Passphrase <or> WEP 64/128-bit Hex <or> WEP 64/128-bit ASCII <or> LEAP
Passphrase: •••••••••• (1A34551614)

Alright, it works now. Thank you jbennet!

It was a simple matter of switching from the option "WEP 128-bit Passphrase" to "WEP 64/128-bit Hex".

I don't know how to up your "Solved Threads," but it deserves to be upped.

thanks

(most people i help are newebies who post once or twice so thier rep is 0 and they dont mark as solved)

but i dont mind, i enjoy learning and helping people.

Why do you still use WEP by the way, WPA is far more secure ? (but then again i think only G has WEP)

I had similar issue with the Passphrase/Hex thing on a pda a while ago, was gonna ask you to check the security, mac filters first , then encryption.
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.
