Stupid Wi Fi question

[ceebs]

Sorry if this is too simplistic but I have just bought an XDA Exec and am trying to configure it for wi-fi. Unfortunately, when it asks for the wep key I try and enter it but it wont fit. There seems to be space for only 20 characters and the wep key is 26 characters long. Any ideas please. I have previously set up wi-fi on a Sony TH55 and an Ipaq 5550 with no problems but this XDA has beaten me! :shock:

change to a shorter wep key?

Even thought there appears to be less room than necessary, you can go right ahead and input all the numbers!

Cheers

I suppose i could do that but it means a lower level of wireless security. That seems to be a retrograde step. I thought this thing was cutting edge. :roll:

You were absolutely right. Thanks very much for the help! :D

Thank you for the help. The screen on this thing is excellent. I think I'm going to like it! :D

No probs!

How do you actually manage to not kill your wifi network? As you can read from my post, when I connect, my network crashes
:cry:

Not sure why but it works perfectly at the moment. It's connected via a BT Voyager 2000 along with a desktop PC and an iBook and they are all fine. :)
