A friend of mine went on to BT broadband recently (before I could warn him!)
and was given a BT Voyager 2019 Wireless ADSL Modem/Router. He was also
given a 128 bit WEP key for it. We couldn't get any wireless-enabled
computer to connect. They could all SEE the wireless connection, but
couldn't connect. Eventually, I decided to try setting up a new wireless
network on my laptop. During that, I noted that the wizard, on XP SP2, had
NO facility for ASCII wep keys! The key that BT had given him was ASCII. I
went to the router setup, changed the ASCII to a HEX key and bingo!
Everything connected.
Does BT know that XP SP2 doesn't like ASCII wep keys?
