Hi there,

just wondering whether anybody else has come across the same problem and might have found a solution.
Hardware Belkin 54 g ADSL Model with Wireless - G Router
HP Laptop with Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN
Software
Microsoft VISTA Basic

I had to manually set up the wireless network. However, when it comes to security settings, I could chose WPA-PSK with TKIP, but when I entered the pass-phrase and clicked ok, and wanted to connect - no success. Upon inspecting the properties again, I found the pass-phrase had reversed to some 8 character string (mine is way longer). For some reason I can't get Vista to use my pass-phrase and so it won't connect.

Any advice much appreciated
