program to find WEP Encription

hi group

anyone know how find the key WEP encription in wireless net with Windows XP
SO

thanks

My reply is the same as I made to your earlier posts.

The fact that you want to break into an encrypted network would seem to
indicate that you're up to no good. The network is encrypted for a
reason...that reason being to keep unauthorized persons from connecting to
it.

Internet access is dirt cheap nowadays (even if it's only dialup). I would
suggest that you fork over a few dollars and stay legal. The alternative
would be to ask your neighbors to try to find out who has the internet
access. Then you could offer them a few dollars and ask their permission to
join the network and still be legal. Or does that sound too hard?

My network is encrypted because I don't like freeloaders on my nickel and
browsing the contents of my computer. I bet your neighbors feel the same
way but just ask them. You might be surprised.

It's for reasons like this I wish I knew how to setup encryption on my
laptop XP Pro and Linksys

If you need any ideas...let me know. There's a lot of info available.

Well, all I want is to be able to enable encryption so the other people
in my neighborhood aren't always bleeding off my broadband. Sees like
certain individuals get on and and my cable modem speed goes from 54 to
somewhere around 11 I think (I hope) by using windows to encrypt this
may stop. But I can't seem to get any kind of connection unless I am in
Linksys properties and have Network authentication set to open and Data
encryption Disabled. I do admit to being a newbie.

I haven't fooled with a Linksys but I have with Belkin and D-Link routers.
I use WEP (128 bit because I also have a Windows 98 computer on the
network). My router properties show Open, alongside my long WEP key in the
#1 slot. You should have something similar. Your router settings should be
changed from a computer that is hardwired to your router. Make sure and
save changes. You may have to reboot your router and your computer. Change
your wireless computers by using the interface for the card or the wireless
settings for the network. Make sure the settings (keys) are identical to
each other. I further restrict access by using MAC address filtering. I'm
sure Linksys has something similar.

Have you tried the Linksys page?
http://www.linksysfix.com/check/filt...tm?CallerID=SP Seems like a
good source of info.

Post back if still having problems. Everybody was a newbie at one time.

Well my whole system is linksys (G) and I don't have it hardwired to a
computer. The card for my laptop just goes in the side of the computer
and my desktop computer in the other room, has an antenna off of card
that goes in a ISA slot. Do you mean I should take the router down out
of the closest hook a cable to it and change the setting that way??

Thanks

Yeah...just temporarily while making the changes. If you enable encryption
wirelessly on your router, as soon as it takes effect, it'll disconnect you
because your computer is not using the correct key. After you know
everything is working OK then you can put it back in the closet. Also most
routers advise that when doing a firmware update to never do the update
wirelessly...always use a cable. Be sure and check that web link I gave
you. Seems pretty user friendly.

Ok, thanks. That is a lot clearer now. I didn't know it had to be
physically connected for it to take effect. I did check that site out
and your right it does seem to be user friendly and it did say I wasn't
connected to the router. (Probably because it wasn't hardwired.

I'm going to give it a shot anyway.

Thanks again I am now Security Enabled.
