WEP 128 on the Mini

I just set up a Linksys wireless G router with WEP 128. Used the generated key and was successful in connecting 2 XP laptops.
Now trying to do the neighbour's Mini. Have no idea where to install the key to get it working.
Help Please ?
TIA

I want to set up WEP 128 security

I am trying to set up WEP 128 security on an Airport Extreme base station because of one older computer that is not able to handle WPA. The box says
that this is supported, but the drop down menu for security settings does not show WEP as an option. How can I get WEP 128 set up or do I have to return
the hardware?

Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click on Wireless just below the row of icons
Hold down the option or alt key (it might be control on a PC) while you click on the Radio Mode selection box and select the following Radio Mode:
802.11a --- 802.11 b/g
Now hold down the option or alt key (It might be control on a PC) while you click on the Wireless Security selection box and you will see WEP 128 BIt as a choice

Macbook Pro can't connect to WEP 128 bits Router.

I'll try to list everything here so you can get a clear picture of the situation.
First, after all my PCs flatmates connected to our Wireless internet (Amper aw01), I was still struggling.
I tried everything, from WEP, to WEP 128 hex, WEP 128 ASCII, writting (""), ($), (0X)........ and nothing. Connection timed out always.
Then after ******* with the routers configuration, and discovered that my PCs flatmates had an 802.1x identification/password. So I connected through it using the Airport Advanced config. But can't connect to internet despite being now connected to the network. It says that I have a self-assigned ip. I think thats because despite being autenticated though the 802.1x, I didnt passed through the WEP 128. I tried then everything again every combination but cant get through.
Right now, I'm connected using a LAN cable, and the internet works fine.
HELP!

Type a $ sign in front of the password.

WEP 128 bit 26 hex digit problem

Can't seem to use the passwords generated by the linksys router for WEP 128 bits 26 hex digits encryption. WEP 64 bits works. Why?
Thanks

The $ before the password didn't work. Tried WEP password and 40/128 hex but 40/128 hex won't allow a $ before the password. I wish there was a place to just use the Passphrase on the Mac. Using a linksys router.

New iPad asks for WiFi password. There is none. My WiFi uses WEP 128 bit encryption, but there is no "password" to enter.

Brand new to the iPad. It's asking for a password to the WiFi network in my home. There is no "password" as such associated with this WiFi network. It uses WEP 128 bit encryption where each byte is a hexadecimal number and is called a "key" Typing this lengthy thing in gives me no results. The iPad keeps on asking for a password. I have three computers and a DVD hooked to the network which has been working for a decade, so that's not the issue.
Basically I'm stuck not being able to get onto the WiFi system.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.

AMD CPU with Vista cannot connect to WLAN using MS-PEAP with WEP-128

We have a notebook "HP Pavilion tx1000 (AMD Turion64 CPU with Vista 32bits)". The notebook is using Broadcom 802.11a/b/g chipset, running AMD and Vista. It cannot associate to WLAN using MS-PEAP and WEP-128. Also, it cannot associate to PEAP and WPA2-AES.
The AP's log shows:
Oct 11 15:35:20 CCT: %DOT11-7-AUTH_FAILED: Station xxxx.xxx.xxxx Authentication failed
The ACS's log shows:
"EAP-TLS or PEAP authentication failed during SSL handshake"
We do not validate the certificate in the wireless setup. Vista's WLAN AutoConfig is used to configure the wireless profile. We are running Autonomous AP with Switch-Based WDS (WLSM).
We have no issue with Intel Centrino on the above authentication and encryption scheme.
Have checked the CCX program, broadcom 802.11a/b/g chipset is supported only for windows 2000 and xp. There is no mentioning about support for vista. Could this be a compatibility issue?
Please advise and thks

Q: Where In MacOS X stored info wepkeys?
Thanks!

Why do you need to configure your Mac with more than one key? There are routers that support multiple WEP keys, and the PURPOSE for supporting multiple keys is to segment handing out the keys to different trust levels and/or device types. For example, devices that are difficult to reconfigure like wireless network time clocks might use one of the keys, and that key is never given out to people with mobile computers or hand held devices that might be lost or stolen. Another key would be given to fixed assets like office computers, and yet another key would be given out to portable devices that might walk. Why do this? If a key is compromised, every access point needs to be changed, and then every device that had that key(s) programmed into it would need to be reconfigured. By using different keys for different device types, you limit the amount of manual changes that need to occur if a key is compromised.
That being said, you might be able to specify all 4 keys on your Mac somehow, but you gotta ask yourself the important question - why? I assure you, the traffic to and from your Mac to the access point is going to use ONE of the keys, most likely the first in your list.
WEP is a dying insecure standard, by the way. Your company should be looking into upgrading to a dynamic key method of encryption, that can be changed instantly in the event of a compromise.

Syntax for WEP-128 in /etc/network.d/ ?

Hello,
I've succeeded in getting my wireless network controller working in Arch, only I have to enable it manually since I get "could not associate wlan0" on bootup. It's because I hadn't written a configuration file for wlan0 in /etc/network.d so I'm doing that now, *but* I've run into the following confusion:
I've seen the syntax for plain old WEP encryption in /etc/network.d/examples, but is it different for WEP 128 ASCII, which is what I'm using on my network? I ask because the syntax for /etc/rc.conf is different between the two types of encryption, and I've googled it to no avail. I was wondering if anyone here had the answer. Thank you.

I should mention that I also deleted the line
#SPLASH_EFFECTS=$(e=();IFS=',';for w in $splash;do [[ $w == fade* ]]&&e+=($w);done;echo "${e[*]}")
since i don't really need it.
After a rebeoot the error still persists...
What is my fault?

Using S-Video w/ the Mini DVI to Video Adapter

I just purchased a MacBook last week and I also purchased a Mini DVI to Video adapter for it so I can use the built-in DVD player to watch movies on my TV. I have a composite to composite cable and that worked fine when I connected the cable between the Mini DVI to Video Adapter and my TV. However, when I tried to use a S-Video cable and connected that between the Mini DVI to Video Adapter and my TV; then I got no picture at all. All I saw on the TV was a picture of the MAC desktop w/o the dock and the movie or nothing else played at all.
Is the composite connection a better connection for the MAC, or, are there some settings I need to work with on the MAC to get the S-Video connection to work?

I managed to figure this one out, by fluke. The MacBook has to be powered on and ready for user input prior to connecting the mini DVI to video adapter with the s video already connected to it, and to the TV. Once I did it this way, it worked fine. I just thought I'd share this.

My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more.

My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more. Was working while watching a movie but when I pulled it out from the computer and put it back in the system would no longer mirrorr the screen on the TV.

The best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar. The evaluation will be for FREE!

Does Thunderbolt work with the Mini Displayport to DVI adapter?

I just ordered a new 13" MacBook Pro with Retina Display to replace my Mid-2010 15" MacBook Pro. I've been using the Mini Displayport to DVI adapter to extend my screen to an older 20" Cinema Display. From what I can find online, and I'm here asking for confirmation, I should still be able to use the Mini Displayport to DVI adapter with the new MacBook Pro's Thunderbolt port. Correct?

still be able to use the Mini Displayport to DVI adapter with the new MacBook Pro's Thunderbolt port. Correct?
Yes.

My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. It was working fine now I cant get it to output to the Tv. Any ideas?

My Macbook pro no longer outputs to my vizio led tv. It was working fine now I cant get any picture. It just says no signal. It is not the hdmi or the adapter because it works fine with my other tv. Any ideas on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Please be as specific as possible. Thanks. BTW--I am using the mini dvi to hdmi adapter in case that was unclear.

Since you say that the same connectors work on your other TV is suggests that the fault is not in the connectors but your Vizio TV. I would check the settings on the Vizio TV. Verify that is is set to receive HDMI input. Perhaps you or some one else has inadvertently changed them. Pressing the wrong buttons on a remote control device can do that. (I am assuming no changes were made in SYSTEM PREFERENCES>DISPLAYS)

To capture the Mini-DV file through the 1394 firewire card from t

hii there!
first let mi make you understand what we people are doing ....
We people want to capture the Mini-DV file directly through the 1394 firewire card from the sony camcorder in to the MPEG2
format. Thent on the fly(i.e.during capturing into MPEG2) we also want to capture the metadata i.e (time,date etc. of the
original shooting event) into some text file. Our MPEG2 format requirements are: 8mbps viedeo,freq-48KHz,16 bit sterio,384
audio kbps, Deinterlace... we are using JavaMediaFramework-2.1.1e(Java Media Studio tool)..so we want to explore that tool
much more coz rightnow it's not supporting MPEG2(only supporting MPEG1) and also not supporting 1394 cpture card ...we want
the codec for converting DV-AVI to MPEG2 with date and time exctrated and much more explored details about JMf2.1.1 JavaMedia
Studio to get more familiar.....
for the above mentioned problem I am trying to add the mpeg2 codec inthe plugin of the jmf studio..and i have followed the
steps ..
Download the Codec from IBM
Extracted jmf.jar
Extracted codec.zip
Added files from codec folder to jmf folder
Made a jar out of it and name it jmf.jar
Replaced that with current jmf.jar (kept a backup)
Opened JMFRegistry and in "Plugins","Codec" and now unable to add " "
this becoz i am not knowing the exact way of recopiling that newly created jar file and because of that that mpeg-2 codedc is
not get added .....so i am looking forward for any help for the above mentioned problem!
I would be gratefull on getting ur help coz it's such challenging and techy concept to explore...
thanks..

HT4907 I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini. So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air

I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini. So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air and I can use Mini to input data or interact with screens of those computers.

Regarding your first question about bookmarks, I think you discovered the answer in when you pressed the address bar. The second tab there has your bookmarks.
As for the keyboard, I'm not sure why your Firefox is reacting so slowly; mine seems to show keyboards even when I don't want them. If you have accumulated a lot of history, perhaps that's an issue?
Did you use any third party software to move your Firefox data from internal memory to the storage card?
