Re: A lil' computer help?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1126This should help.
Go to system properties\network\Airport\Configure to set up.
Then you just need to select the network you want to connect to (don't worry about what type it is) and enter the password (or network key- which is just a hexadecimal password) given by the network administrator or whoever setup the wireless network.
If it is not accepting it, try putting a $ in front of the key/password or surrounding the key/password with quotation marks.
Quote:
"ASCII password-
If you were given a password that is plain ASCII text, use the double quotation mark (") before and after the password. These are case-sensitive, and they are at least five characters long for 40-bit encrypted networks or at least 13 characters long for 128-bit encrypted networks.
* Example of 40-bit: "pw123"
* Example of 128-bit: "password12345"
Hexadecimal password-
If you were given a password that uses only the hexadecimal range of characters (which are: abcdef0123456789), add a dollar sign ($) before the password. These passwords are at least 10 characters long for 40-bit encrypted networks or at least 26 characters long for 128-bit encrypted networks.
Note: In a hexadecimal password, the dollar sign is called the Hex Escape. It notifies the software that the characters that follow it should be treated as a hexadecimal number. Other possible hex escapes are "0x" and "0X" (zero-x, and the "x" may be upper or lower case).
Example of 40-bit: $1234abcdef
Example of 128-bit: $12345678901234567890abcdef
Note: If you are not sure which type your password is, try both of the methods above, or contact the network administrator for information about your password."
