WOW!
Thanks a lot Jeremy!
I am downloading "WEP Key Maker" right now.
I didn't even think of switching my WEP key to 128bit! I bet that is why it
doesn't work with my old one now!
Of course, I am using an older "Graphite" Base Station. I'll find out if the
WaveLAN Silver card got updated in it, and see if that will make it do
128bit.
