Hi All, I've run into a problem I haven't come across before and I suspect it's a Windows XP security problem, but since it involves a network, I'll post it here first. I have a Linksys wirerless router and am attempting to connect using a WMP54G wireless PCI card.The card detects this wireless network fine, but will not connect to it. I have checked the box that says "Allow me to connect to this wireless network even though it is not secure". When I press connect, the window closes, but it does not connect. I think he problem is in the wireless network settings. XP will not allow me to enable IEEE 802.1x authentication. The choice is greyed out and there is a warning message that says: "Ieee 802.1x authentication and only be enabled in access point networks that use Wired equivolent privacy (WEP) network keys for data encryption" Where I am this is unnecessay and I am not using it. My other computers connect fine, but they have been connected for some time and I suspect that it is some new security setting in XP that is causing this. I did uninstall a recent hotfix that delt with 802.1x encryption, but this hasn't helped. I hope someone else has already solved this problem and can give me some advice. thanks in advance.

Correction, above warning message should have said: "IEEE 802.1x authentication can only be enabled in access point networks that use Wired equivalent privacy (WEP) network keys for data encryption" Sorry for the typo Musky If the voices inside my head paid rent, I'd be rich!
