wireless network & sp2

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

I have a similar problem. I was setup with a 40 (64 bits) WEP key before SP2
was
installed. After installing SP2, no more wireless access! When I disabled
WEP
on my router the connections worked again. When I changed from the
40(64-bit) key to 104(128-bit) key everything worked again.
I have heard that using a 104 (128-bit) key slows things down so I would
like to
get back to the 40 (64-bit) key when we really find out what is going on.
Hope this helps.

i had the same problem too. direct pc connection worked but not wireless. i
also had sygate personal firewall which was NOT active(disconnected it when i
found out about microsofts firewall available prior to sp2). i uninstalled
sygate firewall and then was connected wirelessly to the net first go. hope
this gives you a few clues.
