You need to use the 10 digit Hex number instead. 40bit WEP and 64bit WEP mean the same thing. In a 64bit WEP key, 40 bits are shared and 24 bits are per-packet.

It doesn't work. The connection is working fine if I turn of the security on the router and the WL100. The WEP settings on the router are 40bits. This is not a choice on WL100 configuration, so I use 64bits. Can this have something to do with my problem? I have another laptop with a different WL-card. This works fine also with encryption. The router is a DELL TrueMobile 2300. I'm using a five letter vord in Key1 on the router, and using the same in "Passphrase" on the WL100 with Default Tx Key = 1.<BR /><BR />OS: Windows 2000 Pro<BR /><BR />The WL100 Software:<BR />Product Version: 1.34<BR />Configuration Utility: 4.06.3.0 (Oct 04 2000)<BR />NIC Firmware. Version: 00.06.02.00 ID: S10006C2<BR /><BR />Any ideas?
