The network key you have entered is invalid please enter a network key with 5 or 13 characters

Hi guys im REALLY sorry im sure this has has been answered befor but i have limited access to the inet currently so im trying to get the answer ASAP.
the only post i found about this mensions the router bios upgrade but i doubt thats the issue here.  this is on my computer i simply cant enter the password in it says it has to be 5 or 13 characters long and i do not know.seee how to get past this issue... it works on my computers that have "Wireless network monitoy v4.5" but i cant seem to get it working on my new vista laptop but i also had the wrong length error on my XP system when i didnt have the wireless netowrk monitor installed.
long story short my password is 128bit is 7 characters long. so what in the world do i do =( WEP by the way

You confuse the passphrase with the keys. Your passphrase may be seven characters long but your keys are not. The passphrase is used to generate the keys which you can see in the fields key 1-4. Those keys are the keys which you have to enter into your computer. The passphrase won't work often because it is not standardized how to derive the keys from the passphrase. Thus enter key 1 into the computer and make sure you have selected key 1 as transfer key if your router has the option.
The key in the router is in hexadecimals. The computer should easily recognize the format. The key is 5 or 13 bytes long. In hexadecimals each byte has two digits thus your key is either 10 or 26 hexadecimals long. With 128bit keys it is the latter.
I would recommend to use WPA or WPA2 with pre-shared key instead. WEP can be cracked within minutes. WPA is considered secured. Plus there is only the passphrase. For WPA/WPA2 the way how to derive the actual key from the passphrase is standardized. Thus there is nothing to confuse...

  • "the invitation line you have used is invalid"

    A client user is unable to sign-in and receives the message "the invitation line you have used is invalid." The Help says that his invitation may have expired, but the record shows that he has accepted and he did successfully sign in before.  Is there a list of error messages somewhere with probable reasons?  Thanks.

  • An error has occurred while accessing SQL database or system resources. If this is the first time you have seen this message, please try again later. If this problem persists, please contact your administrator.

    I have SP Server 2010, and when I try to DELETE a rule within an existing Audience, "Property (Account Name) = domain/username", I get this error, "An error has occurred while accessing SQL database or system resources. If this
    is the first time you have seen this message, please try again later. If this
    problem persists, please contact your administrator."  When I try to "MODIFY" the rule I get this error, "One or more values typed on this page are not valid. Check the text for the indicated fields." 
    The last time I checked it was working, I'm not aware of any new updates installed recently?  I did a full Profile Synchronization as well, but still not working, please advise? -- Evenstarline

    Hi Sara,
    First of all thank you very much for your prompt responses. Here are my comments to each of your suggestions below, and just to let you know I am using a Farm Admin account.  I
    was able to do this way after we upgraded from SP 2007 to SP 2010 as well.   I would like to mention I'm not a SP expert, just been given the responsibility due to another person handling it just left, so apologize with some of
    my novice questions below?
    1. When I change the Operators to "Contains" or "Not Contains" get generates this error below.
         Error generating in red towards top of the audience page..."One or more values typed on this page are not valid.  Check the text for the indicated fields."
         Error occurred where you enter your "Value"..."Could not resolve the user identity. Please re-enter the account name."
    2. We have a 3-server-tier topology (SPWeb, SPDB, and SPFarm).  Does the updates only apply to where the Central Admin is installed, which is the "SPFarm"?  I checked all
    3 servers, and NONE of the updates (KB2899494, KB2889845, and KB2883055) you'd mentioned are installed.
    3. I'm new to IISRET, I need to be extra cautious of what I run in production, is this safe to run with no problem?  What does it do?  And How do I run it?
    4. I'm also new to viewing the ULS log.  I'd just downloaded a viewer for it.  I'm assuming the only logs I need to be concern with viewing are within the SPAdmin (where Central
    Admin is installed)?  There's so many of them, what should I be looking for exactly?

  • "The folder with the notebook name you specified already exists. Please enter a different name" when tried to open existing onenote.onepkg

    Hi All,
    Office 365 -Onenote 2013
    I am facing this issue when ever i tried to open the existing Onenote.onepkg. Unless i give different name it will not open.
    What is the problem and how can i fix this?
    Thanx In Advance,

    Seems this a sync/conflict issue between your local OneNote and OneDrive. You must change your local folder name and avoid any existing files in that clould-folder may be overwritten by local files in the notebook you open, if the files have the same
    name.
    You'd better to change the name on one of sites.
    Thanks.

    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):

    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.

    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5772
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Before you delete, find out if you'll be able to download the song you deleted again (it depends on where you live). To delete a song:
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap the Songs category.
    Swipe left to right over the song you want to delete.
    Tap Delete.
    Apple - iTunes - Match

    Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
    On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button. iOS devices will start playing tracks from iCloud as they download and will store them so that you can listen to them later even if you don’t have a network connection. Apple TV only streams songs.

  • I want to de-install mac-excel test version and get the error message: you have not the privileges to de-install. Please login with the Mac-OS account you have installed mac-excel originally'. I don't know this account anymore. I am sysadm

    I want to de-install mac-excel test version and get the error message: 'You have not the privileges to de-install. Please login with the Mac-OS account you have installed mac-excel originally'. I don't know this account anymore. Possibly it does not exist anymore. anybody out there who can help ?

    Hi, I may suggest to activate the root account and try the uninstall process from that account. To do so, you have to:
    Go to System Preferences a open up the Users pane;
    On the left side of the pane, you shuold see Login Options;
    Enabled editing option clicking on the lock (it will ask your password);
    Once the pane is enabled, you should see something like Server Account Network (sorry my OS is in italian, so I don't exactly know the right translation), and right next to it a button;
    Click on that button, and a new pane shows up. Click on Open Directory Utility, and on the upper bar of OS X click on Edit;
    Select Enable Root Account (you can set a password, or not);
    Done that, you should log out and when the login window show up, type on the user field "root" and the password you choose;
    Theorically, from this account you will be able to unistall the application.
    After completing your task, I reccomend you to disable the root account, just by loggin in your personal account and repeating the steps I described before. Hope it helps

  • Acrobat X - You have created an invalid conversion job.."

    I recently purchased a new computer with Windows 7 and have upgraded all my software. I have MSOffice 2010 and the download (trial) version of Acrobat X.  When I prepare a document in MSWord (in either .doc or .docx format) and click on the Create Acrobat icon, I get the message "You have created an invalid conversion job..."  If I try to Print to Acrobat, the program goes into non-responisve mode until I use Task Manager to terminate it.  Thus for all practical purposes a full version of Acrobat X is useless and as a work-around, I transfer the documents to my laptop, which still has an earlier version of Acrobat which works.  I purchased the full Acrobat X and am waiting for delivery of my disk to get a serial number to convert my trial to a registered version.  Is this a problem with the trial version, is my install incorrect, or what?

    I have just finished over four hours of support sessions with Adobe and Microsoft support and I think the problem is finally solved.  On Monday  and Wednesday I spoke with two Adobe support personnel and in the second case, I felt that I was teaching him Acrobat. They seemed to want to start at the beginning and after an hour, they finally got to my problem. By that time on Wednesday, I was really frustrated.  I called Adobe support today and got an agent who appeared to be able to start with my description of the problem and investigate from there.  It appeared to be a permissions problem and as a matter of fact when he had me create a second account on the computer, I was able to generate pdf. Why it didn't work with mine, I had no clue.  He did a few things and asked me to uninstall both Office and Acrobat and reinstall.  I got them both uninstalled, and then found that what I thought was my Office installer had a problem which directed me to MS support.  After some time trying to find the correct support, I found someone who downloaded a complete install of Office (not just the install stub) and installed Office and stuck around while I installed Acrobat to see that I got that working, which this time it did.
    There was more to the problem than just joboptions files and although I watched each person operate, I couldn't say whether it was an Adobe or Microsoft problem and who or what really solved it.  But it's solved Thanks.

    on Game Center how do you stop players from seeing the last time you have played a game? Or the last time you signed in.

    hello, this should be addressed in a later version of firefox. as a workaround in the meanwhile you could try this: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash'''. double-click it and change its value to '''false'''.

  • Why we need to use the RMI if you have JSPs? or vice versa

    Hi friends,
    Can anyone please explain me whats the difference between RMI and JSP?
    All I know is how to code and implement them both but can't figure out which one has more advantage than the other.
    Actually this was the Interview question asked to me once,
    The question was "Why we need to use the RMI if you have JSPs? or vice versa"
    Please let me know if you have any answers for this.
    Thank you.

    Well I may not have very deep knowledge about them both but from the little bit of coding practice and implementation I know that too, that they are different technology and the implementation is also different. But didnt know what to answer for this question to interviewer.My answer would have been along the lines of using the right tool for the requirements. Use RMI when you want to work with remote objects "directly", but don't want to hassle with handling all the networking manually or restrict yourself to the HTTP protocol and an inappropriate use of the view layer in model 2 applications.
    Thanks anyways for the reply.You're welcome. How did the rest of the interview go?
