New iBook, airport problem.
« on: March 23, 2006, 07:50:27 PM »
Hi,

Just took delivery of a new iBook, literally a few hours ago.

I'm trying to connect it to a wireless BT Hub which has a 26 digit password.
Ther instructions for the hub tell me to enter the WEP key but Airport system preferences only allow a wpa password.

If I click the little airport icon on the menu bar my hub (and my neighbour's) is listed. I| click on it and it says it needs a password but only gives the option for WPA. I new WEP.

I found a place to enter my WEP password in System prefs>sharing>airport options but it doesn't seem to help.

Anyone know how I can change this or another way around this?

-EDIT-

It's OK - I finally figured it out and it has to be one of the least intuitive things I've ever seen. Bizarre.
