(On both the laptop and access point.) [ Oh, wait. You're using linksys junk. If you're using encryption and are using an ASCII key, you did properly scramble the password at the linksys end, right (see the linksys web page for more info)? ] [ For some inexplicable reason, the linksys stuff uses ASCII keys in a manner different from everyone else. To convert a non-linksys ASCII key into something that the linksys stuff will properly handle (read: "interoperate with non-linksys equipment"), you've got to translate the non-linksys ASCII key into hex and enter the hex values into the linksys equipment.
