This problem seems to the all over the web and from what I've seen it happens when you use the Linksys software with a WEP key. Unfortunately most people (like me) want security and need a WEP key to feel safe. I already found that other security settings on my router could not stop people from just slipping on to my network. Unfortunately my Linksys Wireless G notbook adapter does not offer the WEP key setting when I view the advanced properties for my card in the device manager. I think what is needed to get through this problem is one of 2 things: 1) Linksys write their WLAN Monitor software or 2) Rewrite their drivers to include WEP on the Advanced tab of the adapters properties page.

I had the Linksys card with no WEP, infr mode, ch6 - all the defaults, working for a long long time and never saw this error until we had some other network trouble and I reset tcp/ip in WinXP. In older versions of Windows, you could just remove and add it back from the Network properties page, well, if you're in IT and maybe have tried in XP, you'll see that you can't. So, the resolution from MS is this: Start->run and type "netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt" You'll see this does a great job of resolving some advanced networking problems, but my Linksys G card started throwing this error ever since. I haven't been back to try it on my network, but from what I've read here, i won't be able to connect. I just joined and replied because I see some replies going way down the wrong path. I think it's going to be a remove and reinstall fix, I may have to take all the linksys keys out of the registry before reinstalling too, not sure yet, but it doesn't have anything to do with my WEP or my router settings, I can tell you that for sure. I'll post when I find a definite solution. (next week after I get home)
Heh, cheers, bkibbeeg (junior poster) :p

I need some help here....I just got my linksys 'g' and when I tried to make my laptop go secure with my desk top, it is telling me that the bits are not compatible....Anyone have any suggestions on making the bits compatible so I can go secure?
