Re: [NTLK] Desperately seeking connection (MessagePad 2100)

Hi again...

Reading LWBrown's message made me reread your original msg - it's not the Newt that can't do 128-bit WEP (that's what I use for mine) - but IIRC a Silver card can't, it can only do the next level down. There are apparently ways to flash the card to make it a Gold card so it can do 128-bit - have a Google for that - then it'll work on your 128-bit network.

Ah, that certainly sounds like a source of error.

Right, well, as I can't access the ABS with any of Apple's Airport
Utilities, I shall reinitialise it tomorrow and see if I can start
afresh (though I'll be well stuck if the Airport Utilities still don't
find it!).

Thanks for the tip!
