Hello, I'm back again with another probably stupid problem. I had good advice & help here before, so I hope you won't be annoyed with this one...
I recently formatted my desktop. No problems there, installed drivers and all.
Till I get to the point I need to set up my wireless net, I used to have problems to set it up all the time after I formatted my pc, but after messing around a bit, it worked fine.
Now I have no idea how I did it before lol, so my issue here is, when I have to give my WEP key, it says it's wrong or something. Even though I know I have the correct one.
Also, when I try to edit my WEP key in the properties, it keeps another key :S I don't know why, but I need my key of 10 letters because it's in HEX or something.
It changes to less than 10 all the time... even though I don't tick the box with : "automatically assign key".
I have my net working when I turn off WEP security in the router config, but that's asking for problems.
So I ask of you some advice, possibly help, and why does my key in the properties always keeps a pass less than 10 letters...?
The error in the third SS is in Dutch, so I'll try to translate:
"The password of the network must be dependant of the networkconfiguration 40 bits or 104 bits" "You can give the password by giving 5 or 13 ASCII-signs or 10 or 23 hexadecimals signs"
My pass is in HEX, so I give the correct pass, but still won't accept, because it keeps another one, as you can see on the second ss. If I change the other pass, it gives also the error in the third SS.
Here some screens:



I'd really appreciate ANY advice or explination.
I thank you for your time.
The Darkz

Well, I have a PS3 and a laptop, and another pc on this network secured with the same WEP key, so wouldn't that mess everything up? The router's MAC address should be on the router itsself right? So I just write that down, go to my router config, turn off WEP, then I fill in my router's MAC?
And where exactly? Somewhere on the SS?

I'll try that if I've seen other replies, I know the WEP issue can be solved, I did it before lol, only no idea how.
Thanks so far.
The Darkz
