Remote access
The wireless network I am trying to access has a password that is only
letters (the Comcast all in one program allows users to select their own password) however, when I try to connect via Intel ProSet Wireless, the device ownership passwordd allows only numerical entries. What can I do to get connected? |

You seem to be setting up a wireless network "passphrase:" but your Intel ProSet is asking for a Wireless Protected Setup PIN number. |

Another possibility is that Intel ProSet Wireless requires the
password to be stored as Hexadecimal numbers. Google for Hex converter, if you need to convert your password from ASCii into Hex format. "smlunatick" wrote in message ...

Except that he says it only lets him put in numerical entries, and hexadecimal would require letters. |

Intel ProSet Wireless is NOT that restricted. |

What can I do to get connected? That probably means that you've selected different encryption arrangements in the router and the wireless card. They have to match. Try some of the other schemes in the ProSet utility. Not all network cards support all encryption arrangements. You have to take the lowest common denominator. |
