If you're using a hex key, you MUST have "0x" in front of it in your keys. > -My router id a DLink DI624 > > Is there any type of ndiswrapper debugging that can be turned on? > I know the key works since I have a windows machine connected using the > same key.

Sorry to those of you that are helping but > getting frustrated. I'm right there with you. I don't have any issues. A 26-character key is hex. If you want to use ASCII, you have to tell your DI624 that, and the key will be 13 ASCII characters (and you can use mixed case). Your key on the system must match (no leading "0x" for ASCII). Oh, and when you change the key on the DI624, you must reboot it. If you're using hex, then it's 26 HEX characters. The clickbox on the DI624 for hex keys MUST be set on, and you must restart the DI624. On the system, and you MUST have the "0x" in front of the key in your key file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Brain: The organ with which we think that we think. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
