XP wireless and airport WPA
So I'm trying to fix up my friends laptop, I've got a fresh win XP install on it, problem is it won't log into airports. Be they protected or not, it's asking for a 5 or 13(40, 128b) ASCII network key. First question: is this the password? 2nd: My friend downstairs has an airport and her password is 7 chars, if that's ASCII it's 56bit, which windows won't accept, apparently. Stranger still, it won't connect to an unprotected base, I believe--though I wasn't there--it gave the same dialog.
Anyone have any insight into this?
Thanks
