Broadband WEP key advice req'd.

[250BOB]

Hi Guys,

I am having trouble connecting to my broadband via the wireless method.

 

My laptop connects at work with an 8 digit WEP first time...no problem.

 

But here at home I can't seem to connect to my orange live box.

 

The WEP on the box is like follows.......26 digits plus spaces?????????.

 

xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx xx

 

i.e. 6 blocks of 4 digits, and one block of two digits.

 

Do I have to put all these digits in.?? Are the spaces necessary too.?? If the letters are capitals, do I enter them as such.??

 

Thanks............Bob.

Yes. No leave them out. Don't think it matters but put them as capitals anyway.

I would call your ISP for help. I use AOL and they talked me through setting up their router, and a Net-link device that I bought as a spare.

Hi Guys....I called Orange......and a very nice lady in Tibuktoo talked me through setting my livebox up again. It now works a treat.

 

Thanks for your responses guys.
