Wireless card dosent like WEP

Hey,

I have a Cisco Air-350 (PCM352) here at school, and for some reason it wont get the IP from the wireless access points. Anyone know what could be up?

Is it only at your school? Have you tried other places with wireless access points? It could be your configuration.

Thanks for the reply. I thought about this also, I tried at a freinds and it wouldent work there. But today i got the problem narrowed down. I bought D-Link 614+ Wireless Router today, and I've determined that the WEP Key is the problem.

Every thing worked GREAT, and everything, UNTILL i tried WEP.

Does anyone know what could be wrong? I swear I've tried it 100 times, This is on a mac, using the cisco software, but i dont think its becasue of it beeing a mac.

ANY Ideas would be appreciated.

Exactly how are you configuring WEP? How are you doing it on the router and how are you doing it on the computer?

I just have had the router set up to do DCHP, and i set it with one 64 bit WEP key. On the PowerBook i just use the cisco software with all the settings for DCHP in my internet settings.

As far as i know everything is set up correctly, Like i said it works great when it dosent have the wep key enabled.

PS. this weekend I'm going to test it in a friends PC to see if its possibly a hardware problem. And I'm going to email cisco.
