Access Problem

Hello!

I have a problem in accessing the wireless that I have at home.

I use a range extender of Sitecom, connected to the modem, and used as
access point with autentication WEP, 64 bit.

I have no problem to get access to the wireless with my laptop. It
asks me for the login and then I can use internet with no problems.

With my desktop I cannot connect to the wireless despite I can see it
among all the wireless that are around my place.

I have an HP Pavilion (Windows Vista) with an internal USB wireless
802.11 b/g adaptor, with an external antenna. I can see all the
wireless of my neghbours and also mine. When I try to connect to my
neighbours' wireless, it asks me for the password but then I cannot
complete the login because of course I don't have the password. But at
least the procedure works. When I try to connect to mine, is says that
it's not possible to connect, without even asking for the login. Why?
Is there any setup of the range extender that I need to modify? I also
tried to use another usb wireless adapter: OK with laptop, same
problem with desktop.

thanx

max

I have had problems with Mac computers using WEP also w/ vista. Try
using the WEP key and not the passphrase. It's fine once setup right
but If it's possilbe use WPA which is better and easier as long as all
clients support it and that should fix any current and future auth
problems.
hope that helps.
