WEP key valid on one computer - invalid on another

My problem is this:

I have a network with a MN-700 router and two MN-730
network adapters. Everything runs fine on the computer
with the router and one computer with the adapter.
However, when running the Broadband Network Utility Setup
Wizard (in the exact same manner as was sucessful on this
computer) I get an error. The error states "The wireless
security key (WEP) is invalid for the selected network." I
know the key is correct, as Ive literally copied and pasted
it from the Management Tool settings, and entered it
manually several times.

Is there something I may be overlooking? It works fine on
this computer, but not on the other. I cannot determine
the cause of this discrepancy. Any ideas?

Hi

If you installed SP2 and were getting an "Incorrect
Security Key" error after the install, here is how to fix
it:

- Go to Network Connections in Control Panel
- Right mouse click your wireless connection icon
- Locate "QoS Packet Schedule"
- Click on "QoS Packet Schedule" and Uninstall the "QoS
Packet Schedule"

- Next go to Device Manager (right mouse click My
Computer, Properties)
- Find Network Adapters and click the + sign
- Select the Microsoft Broadband Wireless selection
- Right mouse click on the Microsoft Broadband Wireless
selection
- Click the "Driver" icon and then proceed to "Roll Back
Driver"

Restart your computer and you should be connected to your
base station again.

I hope this helps!!

Mark
