When I try to connect to the router it tells me that I need to enter a network key of 40 or 104 bit, aka 5 or 13 characters. But the network key is only 8 characters. I'm running a PC and when anyone with a Mac tries to connect, they get right on, but I get the error message.

Are you using the wireless adapter utilities or an older version of Windows to manage the connection ? Get the latest driver and utilities for your adapter.

Try copy and paste the HEX code version of the WEP key from the router setup screens to the adapter's utilities.
