[Just have not had time to deal with changing it.] I would now like to update the connections to use the highest security available, but it appears that the router only supports: WPA (with TKIP, but not with AES) I'm not really sure exactly what this really means, but at this point, my objective is to get it to work with the T60 reported by PCI as: Device 4227h PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection It has been working just fine with GenMac and WLAN V3.10rc2 setup for WEP64. No matter how I try to change the configurations, both the router and the WLAN, it does not want to make the connection. WLAN does see the network/router if I request a scan for public hotspots, showing as it should as "Private". One significant problem, resolved [I thought] via manual cut/paste: ==> Both the Router and WLAN will generate a key from a passphrase. But, they generate DIFFERENT KEYS! - WLAN generated four keys, but none of them match the key generated by the router. - My attempt to circumvent the problem was to cut/paste from the router to Key-1 of the WLAN field. Made no difference. Still no connection. I tried essentially the same process, but tried to use WEP128. Similar results there. No connection even though the Router/AP appears to be 'seen' by the TPad. Anyone have this working? Any suggestions about steps to make WLAN and the AP get together? -- TIA, Carl
