I know I know, wep sucks. But it's better than nothing... and with a mixed
network, it's my only choice.
I logged into my router (MS MN-700) and setup 128 bit WEP security with a
passphrase and Hex key.
I setup my Windows (XP) cards for the same passphrase/key.
Everything seemed groovy.
But my browser can't get out to the internet.
my Network Properties show the card as connected, encrypted, with 'limited'
access or something like that.
It was like it couldn't get a local IP address. (DCHP is enabled)
My Mac was able to surf immediately after entering in the key.
Have any ideas what step I'm forgetting on my Windoze machines? I tried 2
laptops with different wi-fi cards, both seemed to have the same problem.
