Network Encryption question

Hi all,

I am trying to secure my wireless network. I am allowing only PCs with certain MAC addresses to access the network. I also disabled the SSID and I am trying to enable encryption.

Regarding encryption, In the router setup I am using WEP because the wireless card doesn’t use WAP. When I type a passphrase and click the generate button. I get 4 different encryptions keys in box 1, 2,, 3 and 4. Now on the PC with the wireless card, which do I enter? My wireless PC isn’t picking up my wireless connection.

Please, if someone could help me out, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ron

I am using a linksys router. When I generate a passphrase, there are "******" in all the keys. So you are saying I should take what's in key 1 and copy that information into the key 1 box on the computer with the wireless card?

If im not mistaken you chose either 64bit WEP or 128bit WEP (Im told they vary from router to router), select one, then create your passphrase. Once thats done enter these settings into your PC'S NIC software, and you should be up.
