Re: WGA11B PS2 gaming adapter

Where am I a bit confused is that i don't have one WEP keys defined
but FOUR! One being the default. Which one of these keys am I supposed
to use to setup the Game Adapter?

Thanks

OK - i started from scrath my setup - from no security at to no SSID
broadcasted, then MAC addresses filtering. Everything is ok but WEP
encryption.
As soon as I turn on WEP encrypion I can't get an IP address. I have
tried 64 and 128 bits encryption.
I've tried setting up the same key value for the router 4 keys values
or just selected the default key on the WGA11B - no luck!

I really can't think of anything else?
Any idea?
