WEP issues....

M

myles cochran

so, it would appear that all of a sudden my version of XP
is having issues maintaining a connection with the WAP
that i've had for some time.

I have replaced the WAP with a new apple airport. the
airport seems to be working fine, yet, however, I have
discovered that now that i am using WEP encryption, XP
seems to want to drop the signal about every 2-3 minutes.

is there some sort of known issue with this? is there a
fix?

please respond to me directly- just take out the "no_spam"
from my email address above.

thanks.

Check the Authentication options in your wireless network adapter's settings
and make sure that you don't have 802.1x authentication enabled. You'll
find this by right-clicking your wireless adapter in the Network Connections
box, selecting Properties, then the Authentication tab.
