[olpc-help] connecting issue in Brooklyn

[Michael Moss]

OK, this is really dumb, I know. But I've been through the FAQs and 
XO forums and don't see anything quite for my problem, which must be 
quite typical.

We're having trouble connecting our son's XO to our home wireless 
system. We have Verizon DSL wireless at home, with a WEP 64-bit 
encryption passcode. All works well when I take the WEP off, and run 
the wireless system unsecured. The XO connects just fine. But when 
the WEP is on, I can't get the XO connected. I tried using the same 
passcode we use for our microsoft and mac laptops. No luck, I also 
tried converting the passcode to HEX, but that seems to require a 128-bit code.

Thanks for your guidance.

Rgds and happy new year,

Michael Moss
