Re: WEP wireless security cracked in 60 seconds
That's an Intel list, but the IBM download page for 1.2.4.41 says:
Quote:

If you currently use IEEE 802.1x authentication on Windows XP Service Pack 1 and do not use WPA encryption, Lenovo recommends you uninstall Q826942 (WPA Supplicant update rollup package in Windows XP) and Q815485 (WPA Wireless Security Update in Windows XP). This does not apply if you are running Windows XP Service Pack 2.
|
So it looks as though it might support it.
Why don't you go into the control panel entry for the NIC & see if it gives you the option for WPA?

It isn't in the Control Panel.

Re: WEP wireless security cracked in 60 seconds
Is it in the Start menu, or an icon in the notification area (system tray)?
[Edit] Where did you set the WEP key?

Re: WEP wireless security cracked in 60 seconds
I have a program called ThinkVantage Access Connections which is for my wireless and wired connections.
It has 6 options for wireless security type:
Use Static WEP Keys
Use Wi-Fi Proteced Access - Pre Shared Key(WPA-PSK)
Use IEEE 802.1x Authentication
Use 802.1x EAP Cisco (LEAP)
Use 802.1x EAP Cisco (EAP-FAST)
Use Windows to configure my network

Re: WEP wireless security cracked in 60 seconds
In that case connect to your router by ethernet cable, change the security to wpa-psk & enter a key.
Use the software on the Thinkpad to set up wpa-psk security with the same key...
Job done!
Repeat with the wireless NICs on the other two laptops.

Re: WEP wireless security cracked in 60 seconds
Cool... I'm sorry but I have another question... I don't know what key to enter because with WEP you could type a Passphrase in but with WPA I don't think you can...

Re: WEP wireless security cracked in 60 seconds
Yes, with WPA-PSK the pre-shared key is just a password. Choose a good mix of uppercase, lowercase & numbers. Make it a decent length & you'll be fine...

How long does it need to be? 
Sorry about all these questions.

Re: WEP wireless security cracked in 60 seconds
You can generate one here...
It gives you options for the length. If you can be bothered to type that many characters into your router & NICs, go for the maximum of 63!

Re: WEP wireless security cracked in 60 seconds
I will plug my laptop into the router later and see how it goes.
I can't thank you enough Cobbydaler. 
You've been very helpful.

Re: WEP wireless security cracked in 60 seconds
Thanks it worked. Changed it to WPA-PSK AES and it works on all 3 laptops. The only thing I've found is that the signal strength went down a couple of percent but that's fine. If I need to increase the signal I can anyway because I have DD-WRT.
Thanks again mate.
