program to find WEP Encriptionhi group
anyone know how find the key WEP encription in wireless net with Windows XP SO thanks My reply is the same as I made to your earlier posts.
The fact that you want to break into an encrypted network would seem to indicate that you're up to no good. The network is encrypted for a reason...that reason being to keep unauthorized persons from connecting to it. Internet access is dirt cheap nowadays (even if it's only dialup). I would suggest that you fork over a few dollars and stay legal. The alternative would be to ask your neighbors to try to find out who has the internet access. Then you could offer them a few dollars and ask their permission to join the network and still be legal. Or does that sound too hard? My network is encrypted because I don't like freeloaders on my nickel and browsing the contents of my computer. I bet your neighbors feel the same way but just ask them. You might be surprised.

in my neighborhood aren't always bleeding off my broadband. Sees like certain individuals get on and and my cable modem speed goes from 54 to somewhere around 11 I think (I hope) by using windows to encrypt this may stop. But I can't seem to get any kind of connection unless I am in Linksys properties and have Network authentication set to open and Data encryption Disabled. :) I do admit to being a newbie.

I use WEP (128 bit because I also have a Windows 98 computer on the network). My router properties show Open, alongside my long WEP key in the #1 slot. You should have something similar. Your router settings should be changed from a computer that is hardwired to your router. Make sure and save changes. You may have to reboot your router and your computer. Change your wireless computers by using the interface for the card or the wireless settings for the network. Make sure the settings (keys) are identical to each other. I further restrict access by using MAC address filtering. I'm sure Linksys has something similar. Have you tried the Linksys page? http://www.linksysfix.com/check/filter/index2.htm?CallerID=SP Seems like a good source of info. Post back if still having problems. Everybody was a newbie at one time.

If you enable encryption
wirelessly on your router, as soon as it takes effect, it'll disconnect you because your computer is not using the correct key. After you know everything is working OK then you can put it back in the closet. Also most routers advise that when doing a firmware update to never do the update wirelessly...always use a cable. Be sure and check that web link I gave you. Seems pretty user friendly.

That is a lot clearer now. I didn't know it had to be
physically connected for it to take effect. I did check that site out and your right it does seem to be user friendly and it did say I wasn't connected to the router. (Probably because it wasn't hardwired. I'm going to give it a shot anyway. Fitz wrote: Show quoteHide quote > Yeah...just temporarily while making the changes.

BTW, your router will also allow you to set up MAC address filtering to prevent access to anyone but those MAC addresses (your two computer wireless NICs) that you authorize. With WEP and MAC address filtering, changing the network name from Linksys to something else, changing the router access password you can pretty much lock down the security on your network. Remember, the two most popular ISPs are Linksys and Default. Q
