Hi,

I'm having problems setting up wireless internet. I have a MN-730 microsoft wireless PCI card, and a linksys BEFW11S4 router, both are 802.11b compatible. The router is completely set up (ethernet works on all computers connected). I installed the wireless card and it detects the router name "linksys" and offers that I connect to it... problem is, when I hit connect, it just keeps looping that "One or more wireless networks are available".

I set up a WEP key through the router configuration page, and went through the Microsoft setup wizard for the card, when it came to entering the Network access key, the 128 hex code that mirrors the one in the linksys router page comes up as invalid. I've tried about 10 different codes, and none of them seem to work.

Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanks!

Make sure your wireless card is not picking up your neighbors AP, that could be an issue. If you are putting in your WEP key for yours, and the card is trying to connect to the neighbors, it will fail. Also, change your SSID from the default, name it something unique, once you are all set-up and working disable the SSID.
