I utilize a Microsoft Broadband router and wireless card to connect a Windows
Me desktop (ethernet) and a Windows XP laptop (wireless card). I updated the
Microsoft Broadband Network Utility, which indicated it had a known conflict
with XP SP2. I then upgraded the laptop to SP2. After update, I continue to
get an "invalid security key" message (128 bit). I have entered the 26
character security key, but the box to do so in the Broadband network utility
appears to have only 25 spaces. I'm guessing this is why I continue to get
the invalid security key message (but maybe not). After removing SP2, my
connection comes back. Someone suggested that I remove the BNU from the
laptop and let XP manage the connection, but I don't know if this will work,
as I still need the BNU on the Windows Me machine. Any ideas? Doesn't it
seem that Microsoft would make sure SP2 works with its own hardware and
software (one of the reasons I purchased the Microsoft solution rather than
Linksys, etc.)?
Thank you.
