128bit WEP Password Too Long!

Hi
I've finally got my AX to work with my Netgear DG834G Router but with no WEP enabled. Now I want to re-enable WEP and get it working by adding a "$" to the front of my WEP password. However when I try to add a "$" to the front of the password in the Airport Admin Utility I get an error message saying that the password should be exactly 13 characters long. I know it should be but prefixing a "$" makes it 14 characters long - which I need to do to get the whole WEP thing working with my router. Any ideas please?
Thanks
Simon

Hi
Thanks for the reply. I'm attempting to input a hexadecimal password that already existed on my wireless network. So my wireless router etc is configured for WEP with a 128 bit password and I'm attempting to put the hex value of the password in the Admin Utility. I read that I need the "$" in front of it to get my Netgear router to talk to the AX. However, when I put the "$" the password is too long - according to the AX Admin Utility. I can run my network with WEP but I'n unhappy with this.....
Cheers
Simon

64 bit password too long for macbook

I'm trying to connect to a friend's wifi network. She's given me a 64 bit WPA password, which works on her macbook pro but not on my regular macbook. When my friend enters the password, she has a $ sign in front of it, bit when I enter it, there's no space for a $ sign. Any ideas what I can do to fix it? It is not letting me connect, the password box is too short to add the $ sign.

kthomasthomas, Welcome to the discussion area!
That is a 64 bit WEP password. Make sure that you select the proper option from the drop down menu before trying to enter that password. If you select "hex" you don't need the '$'. If you select "ASCII' you would need the '$'.

WEP key too long to input in Nokia C3

Has anybody run into this problem? I was able to enter the key in E71, N8, but not C3 as it was apparently too long. It would not accept any more charaters in the input field.

how long key are you trying to use ? is it ascii or hex ?

AIM Fails to Login - Password too long?

I am unable to login using the AIM application on my iPod touch. Whenever I try to login, I get a "Connecting..." "dialog box" for about 15 seconds, then I get a message saying "You must have a network connection to access the AIM network". When this error happens, all other Internet functions are working properly (e-mail, weather, google maps, etc...)
One thing I did notice was that I was able to login with a friend's .Mac account on my iPod touch. His password is 8 characters long, while mine is 12 characters. I suspect AIM doesn't like the long password, but have been unable to find a way to report this bug to AOL.
I'd rather not change my password on my .Mac account. Just curious if others have noticed this problem with long passwords using the AIM application on the iPhone and iPod touch....

I meant to come back and say that this is working, but I don't know why. I had continued to have problems with AIM on the iPod for a while, always getting the same "no network" error. The recovery went as follows:
- I have two computers (iMac at home, MacBook Pro at work). I purchased most of my apps on my iMac and had copied most, but not all of them to the MBP. One difference was Enigmo, which I did not have on my MBP.
- iTunes on the iMac is configured to sync everything, and on the MBP, it apparently was set to sync applications.
- I plugged in my iPod to the MBP, which promptly erased Enigmo from the iPod. No worries, I would copy it back onto the phone when I got home.
- To keep this from happening again, I went into iTunes sync options on the MBP and turned off Application syncing, which removed ALL apps from the iPod (after warning me that it would do this).
- When I got back home, I synced to the iMac and then tried reconfiguring AIM and it magically worked this time.
In other words, I don't know why it didn't start working, which is frustrating. I suspect the uninstall/reinstall fixed the app. You could do this, without impacting all your other apps, by modifying the iTunes sync options to not sync all apps, but only selected ones and deselect AIM. Once it's uninstalled, set it back to the original settings, sync it, and see if you can connect to AIM.
It works pretty nice. Once Apple gets the notification server up and running and AIM can stay connected when the program is not the foreground app, or when the iPhone/iPod are off-line, it would mean the end of needing to send SMS messages.

Password too long !

I had to create an Adobe ID for a client and the password has 13 characters.
Adobe allows to have a password of 13 characters.
But Folio Builder does not !
Please fix this ;-)

Yes, this is a known bug. The DPS team hopes to fix it by v26.

WEP password for Windows machine

Hi to all,
Okay, got two refurbed airport express units from apple yesterday. I set them up in WDS mode and both my iMac and ibook are connected and working well. My wife tries to connect to the wireless network and it asks for the WEP password. I enter the password that I set up for the connection but this does not work. It is prompting me for a much larger password. Where can I find this password?
Thanks!
Greg

Glenn900, et al,
Thanks for your prompt response, but unfortunately I am not following these instructions very well. I am using WDS, which means that I have two basestation choices within the Airport Admin utility. One is the basestation, the other is the relay basestation. Which one do I double click? Assuming I click on the basestation, I get a large window that comes up with different categories:
Airport, internet, network, port mapping, access control, WDS, music. I do not see any lock icons in any of these sections. However, in looking into the button entitled "airport" there are several buttons that seem to be relevant: change password, base station options, change wireless security and wireless options. When I look at "change wireless security" I do get a window that addresses wireless security and has a box for the WEP passwords. This password is not shown however all I have is ••••••••••••••••••••••••••• I am thinking that I need to have that 128bit WEP password revealed to me so that I can input it into my wife's windows machine. How do I get that password?

WEP Password Is Too Long and Photosmart Premium C309A Will Not Accept It

When I click on "Network Setup Wizard" it finds my wireless network with no problems. Then, it give the the space to put in my WEP password; unfortunately, the password is one character longer that it will allow me to put in, and so it will not connect to the network. I read somewhere else where someone said that you shouldf be able to go online and do that; I have been unable to find such a feature. Can someone point me in the right direction?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

First of all, do not use WEP. It is not secure, and can be broken by freewares within minutes. Use WPA encryption with a 13+ character key which is alphanumeric and has a special character.
However, if you still want to use WEP, then try this other method of providing the WEP key: Start the software installation for the pritner on your PC. Select the connection type as Wireless connection. In the next screen, it will not find your printer Just click on Next and select the option 'My printer is not connected or not sure'. You'll be prompted to connect the USB cable between the printer and the PC. Once this is done, you should be able to pick your wireless network and type in your WEP Key on the PC and proceed.
Make it easier for other people to find solutions, by marking my answer with \'Accept as Solution\' if it solves your problem.

I participated in the mountain lion free upgrade for new mac owners but the password is too long to unlock the content code. HELP!!!

i participated in the mountain lion free upgradde for new owners but i cannot open the content code because the password is too long! HELP!

What happened was that the password was 32 characters long and the field that they give you to use would not allow you to manually type those characters in (crazy huh?) but it took it when i copied and pasted it in!

[SOLVED] Too long WEP key

Hey guys,
I'm currently trying to install Arch on my laptop: this is my first time with Arch but definitely not my first with Linux. However, while following the instructions in the Beginner's Guide I ran into some trouble with the wifi-menu section. I tried to connect to my wireless network(wep) but it gave me a screen that said "CONNECTING FAILED" and a choice of whether I wanted to save the generated profile or not. I chose "Yes" and ran wifi-menu again, but this time it just exited with a command-line output of "Job for netctl@wlp3s0\x2dXXX.service failed. See 'systemctl status netctl@wlp3s0\x2dXXX.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details." I ran each of the commands, and the first command didn't give me anything I could make anything out of, but the journalctl command gave me this:

Please help! I've been tearing my hair out over this for the last few days and would greatly appreciate if someone could give me a hand here.

I could have sworn I read WPA over and over again in that first post. But you know that if you don't use wpa, then you can actually just use iw or the older (and apparently deprecated) iwconfig.
In any case, if you want this to work with netctl, there is the possibility that you need to use the hexadecimal type Key=. You can see an example of this in the man pages, or you can simply look at the example /etc/netctl/examples/wireless-wpa file. Unfortunately, the auto-generation of wifi-menu can only generate the other kind of key format.

Too long url error when emailing thread with replies

There is apparently a bug in the "email thread with replies" feature.
I tried emailing myself this thread and it returned this error:

No surprise it did either. Look at what it was trying to send.

p.s. I previewed this thread and used the p class="code" for the html tags around these long urls. Doesn't that work anymore or am I misremembering the permitted tag?

Thanks for your answer,
It's an web application made in Oracle ALBPM and which uses JSPs to entering data. The insert is made on the database object inside the ALBPM studio:
INSERT INTO <<ALBPM SQLQuery object>> ( field-1,field-n) VALUES ( value-1 value-n) );
I read the link you posted, but I'm still confused. I did the following:
SELECT FIELD, LENGTH(FIELD), LENGTHB(FIELD)
FROM TABLE
I was expeting to get a larger value in LENGTHB(FIELD), but the values are equal. I can only insert 2000 characters from the application, so, I was expecting a LENGTHB 2x greater than LENGTH(FIELD).

WEP Password Won't Work!

I have a Wireless router, which can do WEP, WPA and WPA2 encryption. If I have WPA2, then my desktop (Windows) can't remember the password, so that encryption is out for the mo, WPA won't work on our old laptop, and so WEP is all that's left. Every device in my house (including my iPhone) can connect, but my MacBook fails too! I have tried loads of different WEP passwords, and it can still connect to other WEP protected networks, but not mine! Is there anything I could have done, or is this a general problem?

Just like Windows stores your network profile info in C:\Document and Settings, the mac stores your network location in a plist file.
WEP is really for B/G networks, most newer networks are using WPA/WPA2 because it is more secure.
Can you connect to WPA2 Personal with the mac and that router?
Can you create a new Windows profile under network settings? (you should be able to).
Sometimes if you cannot connect using ASCII character for the password, look at your Key 1: on Windows for the Hex version of the password and try typing the Hex in the password box.
IF your password for WEP is short, like less than 8 characters, that may be the problem, it order to get WPA2 you need a password at least 8 characters long, 10 is better and more accepted by encryption schemas. Try adding 1234 to the end of your existing password (i.e. password1234) in the router, then input it again to see if it works. Try making the password exactly 10 characters long if you can.
WEP is like having no security at all, WPA/WPA2 is much more secure.

WEP password not accepted for joining existing wireless network

My router has WEP security with a 10 digit 64-bit hex value. When I type it into the connection wizard it complains I need 13 digits. I have tried adding a $ and "s but to no avail. What is the trick?

Hello SteveWhite. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
One of the problems with WEP is that the actual standard relies on a 10 character HEX key for 40bit WEP and a 26 character HEX key for 128bit WEP.
In order to make things easier, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling the use of simple easy to remember WEP password rather than lengthy HEX keys. The problem is that different vendors use different algorithms to generate the HEX key and therefore a ASCII password on an AirPort Express (AX) will be hashed differently on a non-Apple client and vice versa.
You may find the following Apple article helpful. Also, have you considered switching to WPA or WPA2, since WEP is no longer considered secure?

WEP password won't work on only one Mac

I have my network set up, with router etc. I have what I assume is a WEP password. My main box is a G5. Another box is a MacBook unibody. They both detect my network in the Airport list. If I have to enter my WEP password, it works fine.
Today I just started up my G4 867 running 10.4. It has an Airport card in it that has worked fine in the past. I haven't used the computer for over a year, but it starts up fine, everything looks normal. When I go to my network list in Airport, I see my network. At first it asked for a "WPA Personal" password, but I've never had to use it. It didn't work. Then I switched to "other . . ." and was able to choose "WEP Password" for my network. I get an error message saying "There was an error connecting to the network "xxxx""
I KNOW that the password is correct -- it works on both my other machines. But I still get the error message. I tried the various "WEP" options, and even LEAP, whatever that is. No matter what option I select, it will not accept the password.
I even tried rebooting in OS 9 (I can do that!!) but there, also, I got the same error.
I KNOW I'm not mistyping the password . . . what the heck is going on here?
Thanks in advance. This is extremely frustrating.

Golly gosh gosh . . . this was so long ago I have no idea what ended up happening. But these days if something like that happened to me I'd just junk the router and buy a new, more modern one. And have someone who knows what they're doing come in and set it up. And make sure every single thing he does is documented and that all passwords etc. are immediately stored in a safe and always accessible place.
I know it's frustrating NOW and you want answers NOW, but sometimes there is just voodoo in the air and no amount of brainstorming settles it.
I know you know all the standard procedures -- reboot everything, unplug, replug, dump preference files -- but in the end, just throw away the router and get a new one. In this disposable culture we have that's almost always the best and easiest solution.
My wife has been bedevilled by an "Update Flash" problem on the computer that used to be mine but that I gave to her, and of course, it's those little kids at Adobe being spiteful at their old mentors and not supporting Flash on Power PCs any more, thus the non-functionality -- but thankfully this time I found a hack somewhere that immediately solved her problem. She was blown away, but ultimately it's going to be a lot worse on anyone still running a Power PC. Just give it all up and ditch the PPC and buy an Intel machine -- problem gone. The old days of trying to brainsttorm through a seemingly intractable problem are long, long gone. Ditch the offender and start all over again with a new offender.
Let me (us) know what happened. I wish I could help you but I must have solved it somehow or given up on it -- I simply can't remember.

Browser times out when trying to view my website - says the server is taking too long. And no, I don't have a firewall.

I can't view my website at www.artisancandies.com, even though it's working and everyone else seems to see it. No, I don't have a firewall, and it's not because of my internet provider - I have AT&T at work, and Comcast at home. My husband can see the site on his laptop. I tried dumping my cache in both Firefox and Safari, but it didn't work. I looked at it through proxify.com, and can see it that way, so I know it works. This is so frustrating, because I used to only see it when I typed in artisancandies.com - it would never work for me if I typed in www.artisancandies.com. Now it doesn't work at all. This is the message I get in Firefox:
"The connection has timed out. The server at www.artisancandies.com is taking too long to respond."
Please help!!!

Hi Please check my answers
1) How to login to Analytics after OBIEE 11gR2 installed on Linux - ( in our case we use user as Administrator and tried password same as username, even checked with the user weblogic and other but no success. Please provide us the information which give details(document) about the Administartion of OBIEE 11gR2 on Linux).
The current OCDM version does not support BIEE 11g, so you need to install BIEE 10g. In next release(will be available soon), OCDM will support BIEE 11g.
2) The issue with installation of OCDM Sampple Reports though successful installation of OCDM Data Model.(First Installation Type from OCDM Installer)
The importing will take a long time, you can login database with ocdm_sample_sys/ocdm_sample_sys, and use "select count(*) from tabs;" to monitor the import process.
