If your AirPort base station is graphite in color, it can only do 40 bit WEP. If it is snow in color, then it can do 128 bit WEP. IIRC, the AirPort Admin Utility for Windows can only administer the Snow base station, as well as the AirPort Extreme 802.11g base station. I believe there is a java based configuration utility for Windows that can admin the original graphite AirPort base station. Otherwise, if you have access to a Mac, the AirPort Admin Utility can handle any of the base station models. The place to go to get the Hex equivalent is under the "Base Station" menu, "Equivalent Network Password". I am pretty sure that the password used by Macs to do WEP is not the straight Hex passphrase, but I could be mistaken. cheers! -- Ted Rattei ted at rattei.org 612-201-2393 _______________________________________________ Twin Cities Wireless Users Group Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.tcwug.org tcwug-list at tcwug.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tcwug-list
