The Apple administrator tool hashes the text string they put in to create a 40-bit password. There's a pull-down option in the Apple Airport manager show the "network password", which will be a 5 byte hexidecimal value. Use that as your WEP key and it will work just fine. That's what I do at home. Regards, K^2 > I have a laptop with an orinoco gold card, can I use that to connect to > an Apple Airport?
