Based on what you say I'd expect the AP to specify 64-bit/128 bit or 40-bit/104-bit. However, to confuse things, it specifies eiher 40-bit or 128-bit I've tried choosing 40-bit and setting a 40-bit key (as hex and as ASCII) but it still doesn't work. > --------------------------------------------------------------------- >- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > - - VitalStream, Inc. > http://www.vitalstream.com - - > - - "Microsoft is a cross between > The Borg and the Ferengi. - - Unfortunately they use Borg to > do their marketing and Ferengi to - - do their > programming." -- Simon Slavin - > --------------------------------------------------------------------- >- -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000
