hi
is there any way on my mini hp running suse linux to set the pre shared key so that i dont have to enter it every time i connect.
im using wpa/wpa2
thanks
ashley
so it dosent have to be a certain length then, thats what i did last time and it said not compatible. does it matter if i select HEX or ASCII ?
once ive done that should it give me a keycode?
thanks
ashley
i tried that but it didnt seem to work.
what i have now done is plugged it straight into my pc and have got into setup and retored defaults. at last.
before i try and setup again could someone give any pointers as to what to input this time. here is a bit from the help section...

thanks gareth ill look into that.
i have a new problem now.
after a long time trying i finally got into my ap set up using my mates windows laptop. there is a wizzard for setting up the first time.
when it came to the security bit i selected wpa/wpa2 mixed.
it then asked for a key, i thought...
thanks skiba.
ive had a quick go at that but it seems very complicated and i dont really know how it all works, why cant it just be like windows were you just download somthing and click to install.
im sure ill get there in the end
thanks
but why is it that it worked through other networks? is it because their routers were directing them to the open dns servers and mine isnt?
could my router or ap be set to do that?
also my next problem is that i cant install anything i download, do i need to get an installer program...
the nameserver line didnt do anything
i think the next 2 were supposed to go into something that came up after the 1st line but i did it anyway in terminal.
the down command said

networkmanager cannot be advised to take down an interface...

i have just found another neighbour with unprotected network, i can use that with no problem aswell.
i may be wrong but i really think the problem is my modem/router blocking something, although it works fine if i connect my ps3 or phone wirelessly to it via the ap.
it just seems like a...

ok ive logged in

it didnt ask for a password. so this made me think that there was 2 users and i was using the wrong one. my daughter had tried to change the password but it seems she has just added one because at times either one are required. so anyway i thought id try...

no i havent, i could borrow my mates laptop tommorow and try that.
i havent tried connecting my ps3 wirelessly yet, is it worth trying that?.
