A friend has become concerned that his wireless connection is insecure and has asked me to help him enable the basic WEP security.
He has a D link router which asks for 10 hexadecimal digits as the key for 64bit encryption and more characters for for higher encryption.
I think I am OK with that end of the link
When I look at his XP laptop, under the properties of the wireless adaptor, I can select either none or WEP but it does not specify the number of bits for the encryption or key length.
Does XP work it out from the length of the key supplied?
Can anyone shed any light on this please?
TIA
