I have my dad's old laptop here.

An Acer 508DX.

Now all I'm trying to do is get it to connect with my old 'b' pcmcia card (belkin)

But when I try to put in the wep key which is a hex value. It refuses saying i need to put in a 40/104 bit key in.

I've got the latest drivers for the belkin card and winxp sp2 on there (not updated yet - as I can't get it on-line yet).

Can anyone tell me why I can't put in the right key?

Cheers in advance dilli.
