Re: WEP passphrase problem in windows XP

Most wireless networks are completely unprotected when you first set them up. you can protect your wireless network by using Wired Equivalent Protection (WEP). 128-bit WEP is more secure version of the original WEP. Encryption scrambles data on your wireless network so that only computers that have the encryption key can read your communications.

I recommend you to check the website or manual of the card manufacturer and the access point manufacturer. You can manually enter a WEP key by the access point or by using a passphrase. You can get the key manually and type in there.

Re: WEP passphrase problem in windows XP

It may be a software problem. When you see the screen for WEP, you cab type 26-digit password with any random characters. There is a Microsoft's article on You cannot connect to a wireless access point with the Wi-Fi Protected Access update installed
