Hi,

I'm trying to set up wireless at an office to use WPA (WPA-PSK) authentication. The first few computers connected perfectly, but the next two told me my key had to be 40bits or 104bits meaning it's using WEP right?

So I go to configure the connection and the only options under Authentication are Open and Shared. On the computers that worked, the options are Open, Shared, WPA, WPA-PSK. Both the problem computer and a working computer are running XP pro 2002 sp2. What's causing this difference??
