WEP Key index other that "1"

Hi All:
I brought a new macbook, i have switch from Dell to MAC, im pretty happy so far, except for the following...
You can only setup Airport on to send and connect to wireless networks on WEP Key index 1, i have several customers that we i came into their locations, the main Wireless key index in other than 1. They use 2, 3 or 4. Unfortunatelly it seems to me and to rest of people i found on the new, apple only supports 1.
This as no sense to me, and i think there needs to be a workaround to fix this.
Can anyone tell me what we can do in order to connect to wireless networks that use other that WEP #1???
Thanks and all the best!
Federico

Ok... I have a wifi here at home.... and probably in the modem settings there are 4 keys Just try one and put it on the password asked. And you shall get internet connection right away... Hope i helped you!!!

HNAP WEP Key Index

Does anybody know how to get the WEP key index from a router using HNAP? What method to call and what is the schema?

Haven't tried it, but if this driver supports your cards, then I hear it allows you to change the "key slot"...

"FYI, the Wi-Fi certification testing only tests one key at a time, in slot 1 (that's slot 0, if you count like a good C programmer). There are many things that the 802.11 specs allow, that are nevertheless outside of what Wi-Fi certifies. This is one of them.
Let your sysadmin know that s/he's configured the network in a non-Wi-Fi-compliant manner, and maybe s/he'll see the light.

WEP key index?

Hi, recently switched to a Macbook pro. The problem is that I can't connect with the wireless network in Mac OSX. When booted up in Windows XP on the same machine it works fine.
The problem seems to be the inability to select a WEP key index in Mac OSX? Am I the only one with this problem? Did i some how miss this setting? Please help!
Thanks in advance.
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

If you can switch to WPA this will easily solve the issue and make your network secure.
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 for people, vendors use certain algorithms to convert simple alphanumeric passwords (or passphrases) into HEX keys, thus enabling people to use simple memorable 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 AEBS will be hashed differently on a Netgear client and vice versa.
One thing is a 13 character 128 bit WEP password will be hashed by all vendors in the same way (if you use 40bit WEP then a 5 character password is required).
Though sometimes not even that works and the HEX key must be used regardless.

Re: Apple AirPort drivers only support a WEP key index of 1

This article may be published at Apple's leisure.

Are you entering the WEP key in ascii (just a word) or hex pairs? If you were using ascii, try switching to hex pairs and see if that works (just click the menu in the password window and it should appear as something like "128 bit WEP hex"). I know you said the password is correct, but if using ascii, sometimes the keys don't match on the router and computer (or something like that), so the router thinks the password you gave is wrong. When this happens for me, it just cites "problems joining network" or something similar, rather than citing an incorrect password. Hex pairs bypass this problem.
Also make sure that you are using the same bit encryption as your router, so 64 or 128 bit WEP, when you enter it.

Forgets time, loses WEP key on reboot?

I've upgraded my wife's mini a couple of times without issue. Put in 2GB RAM when I bought it, and a larger hard drive (came with 80GB) a long while ago. Let me qualify, I am pretty experienced working on all types of systems, aware of static discharge issues, etc. I build most of my own intel systems, as well as systems for friends, have over 20 years of system maintenance experience, etc..
Since the last change (switched to a larger, faster hard drive - Fujitsu 320GB 7200RPM) the system has been "unstable" (for want of a better term) at boot. If it boots up, the date/time is often incorrect (Jan 2001) and it has "forgotten" the WEP key. Everything else is normal, and once I enter the WEP key again, the system runs fine. Disk utility shows no issues. The system can run for days without issue - there is no stability problem once it s booted up.
Many times, however, it simply will not boot - I get the "no entry" symbol (no boot device found).
I have reset PVRam, booted to 10.6 install DVD and run disk utility, everything always checks out OK. Most importantly, it shows the HD is bootable, and the verify options show no issues.
What could be the problem? I'm thinking I should just change out the lithium RAM backup battery to see if that helps? I don't understand why it forgets the WEP key, however - unless that is written to RAM as well, so that it can connect to the wireless network at boot. If so, then that's obviously the issue..

The security level has nothing to do with the fact that the system "forgets" the key on reboot. I can't switch to WPA as the AP is accessed by several wireless video cameras that only support WEP. We live on 14 acres, I'm not too concerned with drive-by war dialing..
This system has also an annoying habit of forgetting her email passwords every now and then.
I've pulled the HD and installed snow leopard on a spare drive, and everything seems fine after several days, so I'm started to suspect OS corruption..

WEP with key index 3

In my organization the WIFI is set on key index 3. Is there anyway to connect the IPAD as I do not find any possibility to set the key index 3 on the WIFI settings?
thanks

The following article says:
Check the wireless security option of your Wi-Fi router:
If you are using WEP security and have multiple WEP keys on your Wi-Fi router, try configuring your Wi-Fi router to use only a single WEP key in key index 1.
Consider using WPA or WPA2 instead. WPA and WPA2 encryption protocols are newer, more effective security options for wireless networks than the older WEP protocol.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3237
Thus, it appears you may only be able to use key index 1

Primary key index not working in a select statment

Hi ,
I'm doing a :
select *
from my_table
where B = v1 and
A = v2 ;
where A and B are the primary key of the table, in that table the primary key index is there and the order of the primary key definition is A first and then B.
While testing this statment in my database the Explain Plan shows that it is using the index ok but when
runninng in client database it is not using it becasue of the order (i think), is this something configurable that I need to ask to my DBA ?
The solution I found was to do the select with a hint wich fix the problem , but I'm curious about why is working in my dadabase and not in the client database
thanks in advance .

This is the forum for SQL Developer (Not for general SQL/PLSQL questions). Your question would be better asked in the SQL and PL/SQL forum.
Short answer: The execution plan used will depend on optimizer settings and table/index statistics. For example if the table has very few rows it may not bother using the index.

How to set up wireless WEP keys in GPO? - possible?

Summary:
How to switch users from using Intel ProSet to manage their legacy SSID w/ WEP to using Windows Zero Config w/ both legacy & new SSID's automatically?
Detail:
Some of our sites are still using WEP for wireless encryption (believe it or not) over 802.11b AP's.
We're in process of upgrading encryption from WEP to WPA2 & from 802.11b to 802.11a/g AP's.
One immediate challenge we have is how to keep both networks in parallel and make this transparent to the end users.
We can't cut all floors over at once, but need to do one floor at a time because users move from floor to floor.
We were able to roll out the new network / SSID in Windows Zero Config through GPO, but learned that we can't do the same for the legacy SSID - setting WEP keys isn't an option in GPO, at least according to the server admins.
Does any of you know how we can do this in an automatic & transparent fashion?
So far we've been using sneaker net to switch users from Intel to Windows, & configure WEP keys in Windows, which is taking up way too much time.

If you use a GPO to manage the wireless it will disable the intel proset software. This can have a negative impact, as you may have user that like to use the Proset when not in the office.
If you are going to use GPOs then the transition should be pretty smooth, just setup the new secure SSID first and then roll out the GPO. There are several M$ patches that you should install as well. Do a search for Microsoft Wireless hotfix and rollup and you will find them.

My new smart TV recognizes my network, & asks, "Please enter you WEP keys (10 or 26 hex digits)" but my netwotk uses a password of 6 characters. How can I get my smart TV to connect to my network?

I have a current iMac with the latest OS update.
My new smart TV recognizes my network, & asks, “Please enter your WEP keys (10 or 26 hex digits). My Airport Express, an early model, only requires a password of less than 10 characters.
When I open “airport utility,”on my iMac it tells me this version doesn’t support my base station & says go to “Airport Service & Support.” That’s what got me here.
My earlier MacBook runs OS 10.6.8. Its version of Airport Utility works. Its Airport ID has 17 characters, & uses the same password to access the internet, but it also has a “wireless password” of 26 characters, but only shows me the dots. i haven’t the foggiest notion what the characters are, if I put them in there years ago when i did the original configuration, or if they got there otherwise..
I’m afraid of changing those settings for fear that I’l mess up the whole thing.
How can I get my smart TV to connect to my network, ?

How do i find WEP key for wrt54g

Hi, my husband set up our system and i am trying to add a new wireless printer. He is out of the country for business, hence my problem. How do i find what the WEP key/ network key is? Thank you for your help.

If you have other computer which had connected to this wireless network before, probably you can also use this wireless key finder on that computer to locate the WEP encryption key.
Hope this helps.

How to view my WEP Key ?

I need to connect to my Airport Extreme Wireless Network from a WIndow XP configured Macbook.
WIndows requires the Hexadecimal WEP key to connect.
How do i get this?
To be sure, i have read many similar questions on this forum and tried :
- The network preference panel. The "show password" tick option remains grayed out.
- The Airport utility. The "equivalent network password" on the Base Station meny remains grayed out.
- The Keychain access utility. I can only find the alphabetic passord, not the hexadecimal WEP key (of course tried to enter the alphabetic one, but did not work, so i assume it is expecting the hexadecimal one....).
- In one of the posts, the contributor is bemoaning about an upgrade on snow leopard that makes getting to view the WEP key absurdly complicated. He provides a link :
http://www.adamriggins.com/2009/11/16/how-to-view-saved-wifi-passwords-in-osx-sn ow-leopard/
... which unfortunately is not working anymore...
I do clearly remember easily retrieving the WEP key 2 or 3 years ago, maybe from OS leopard at the time. I don't quite understand why it's been made so difficult now. Was there a security issue ? then is there an Apple note summarizing those facts and recommanding steps for previously set networks ?
Anyone who can help on this is very welcome.
Thanks in advance
YM

well first of all why are you using wep? don't you realize that all wep networks can be cracked in 15 minutes?
older versions of windows xp do not know WPA/WPA2 if you are running the latest service pack then it should support WPA or WPA2
if for the life of you cannot determine the WEP password no matter how hard you try. i found mine by going into keychain and clicked on show password and there was my wifi password
then you might as well just download the latest version of airport utility, write down all the important settings, and then use the reset button to erase everything and then reconfigure it from scratch. and then you will know your password.
while you are there, if you can turn on wpa, by all means turn it on

Your first query is not consistent with the first set of results you have displayed.
Your later query for index columns is also not very helpful as it won't list the column names in the right order.
The probably answer to your question is that the index you have is non-unique and starts with the column you've used for the primary key, which means Oracle can use it to support the primary key constraint. Here's a quick cut-n-paste from a SQL*Plus session to demonstrate the point:
SQL> create table t1 (n1 number, v1 varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> create index t1_n1 on t1(n1);
Index created.
SQL> alter table t1 add primary key(n1);
Table altered.
SQL> select index_name from user_indexes where table_name = 'T1';
INDEX_NAME
T1_N1
1 row selected.
SQL> select constraint_name, constraint_type, index_name from user_constraints
2 where table_name = 'T1';
CONSTRAINT_NAME C INDEX_NAME
SYS_C0033465 P T1_N1
1 row selected.
SQL> spool offNote how I've added a primary key with no name, and Oracle has decided to use the t1_n1 index to support it.

Can't set WEP key for broadcom-wl?

I did a fresh install of Arch this morning at my office. I have an Acer Aspire laptop with a Broadcom wireless card that works with broadcom-wl (I've used the driver for a long time and it works perfectly... with open or WPA networks). The network at my office is WEP. So after installing the drive, adding lib80211 and wl to my MODPROBE (and !b43 !ssb), I reboot and see my wireless as eth0.
If I try to iwconfig eth0 key XXXX-XXXX-XX or iwconfig eth0 essid WIFINAME key XXXX-XXXX-XX, no matter what combination I try, I get an error saying that it's an invalid argument for SET_ENCODE. I've check the Wiki and man pages for iwconfig, and can't seem to find any solution. Does anyone know why I can't put in a WEP key?
((Side note: everytime I've installed Arch, my wifi starts out as eth0 until I get connected and run pacman -Syu. Then I reboot and it shows up as wlan0, and my Atheros ethernet is eth0 or eth1.))

Thanks for a response. So this is a fresh-from-the-oven install. I usually get my wifi connection set up and then create my user and go about setting everything else up. Meaning I've been trying as root.
I can see the wireless network with iwlist scan and it shows up as encryption key: on. Also, I tried using each lib80211 mod or some combination thereof in my rc.conf. No dice.
Lastly, since I didn't include it before, here's the exact error I get when I try to assign a WEP key with iwconfig:
Error for wireless request "Set Encode" (8B2A) :
SET failed on device eth0; Invalid argument.
UPDATE: I can set the key using [x] between key and XXXXXXXXXX. However, any combination I'm trying of essid and key/enc isn't showing up in iwconfig. No errors, but my iwconfig information isn't changing. It's progress... I think.
UPDATE #2: I can iwconfig eth0 essid linksys (the office next to us) and grab that one (I don't know their password ) and it updates iwconfig, but our own network doesn't update iwconfig when I run iwconfig essid. >.<

WVC54GCA setup won't take WEP key

Hi - I'm setting up this Linksys WVC54GCA Wireless-G Monitoring Camera and can't get it to take my WEP settings.The setup screen says, after you select 128 bit WEP, to leave the passphrase field empty and enter the WEP key on the next screen. When you hit enter you get an error saying that the WEP key should be 26 digits and and you cannot continue!
If I turn WEP off and do it without security it all works fine, so how am I supposed toenter the WEP key? Seem like a bug. Endless loop!

Hey just had the same problem as you and found the way around it. It looks like the Wizard has a bug in it that you have to use the Pass phrase not the pass key.
The way around it is to use the web interface, use the IP address that has been assigned to the camera as the web address in your browser, you can see this in the wizard or on your wireless router.
all the settings to manage the wifi can be found there, you need to use that area to manage everything else for the camera anyway.
You may need to reset the camera, there is a little button under the camera, use a pen and hold it in for a slow count of 10.
