im trying to connect my laptop [mac ibook] to my current
wireless network [xp pro], so i scanned for wireless
networks on my laptop and the network i set up comes up,
i click on the name and it requires a password, so i
thought its the same password as the management function
password for the broadband network utility, but
its 'invalid' and i dont know which password it is, are
there other passwords, how do i find them, im confused,
thanks for reading and please help

You need to add some character to tell the macintosh that it is using
your WEP or WPA key (assuming your MAC supports WPA & you are using it).
