Default How do I change my WEP key?


I just installed Beta 2 on my laptop. When it booted into Windows, it
detected my wireless network and asked me for the key. I accidentally typed
the key in wrong, so it obviously cannot connect. How do I change the WEP
key it has associated with this network? I cannot find anywhere to change
the key it has stored.

Disconnect from the network in Network Center, delete the wireless network
from your most used list, then reconnect again.

I have the exact same problem.
Your solution sounds like a good idea, however in my case I'm unable to
delete the network connection.

In Network Center, I select the "Network List" link and get a list over the
connections on my computer. However, if I right click on the connection I
want to delete and selectes "Delete", I get a confirmation message and then
nothing else happends. The connections is not beeing removed from the list.

I may also note that it seems like the whole wireless connection stuff is
quite a bit "fuzzy". The the available networks seems to come and go,
retrying a number of times may make more or less networks available.
And why is it not possible to modify for exmple the web-key of an existing
connection?

Regards, TEK

I'm having the exact same issue.
However, I'm unable to delete the existing connections.

I go to the network center, selects the "Network List" link, right clicks on
the connection to try to delete it it, get the confirmation message, and then
nothing happens...

Any ideas?
