security-enabled wireless network (WPA)

[garywork]

Hi

not great on the wireless fron but it all works

i'm on xp - old laptop

noticed on the "view wireless networks" screen

my network shows as WPA - fair enuf

neighbours network showed as "security enabled" but no WPA or WEP

2 other networks show as "security-enabled wireless network (WPA)"

q) suprised my neighbours doesnt show WPA or WEP ?

is this sort of thing normal ?

or is all my software and skill sadly out of date . . .

thanks

is there any software you could recommend to show what types of security they have - wep wap etc. ?

i'm not asking for hacking but i'm defo curious about this lack of wep wpa info

not sure mine can do wpa-2 or any "new fangled" stuff !

been experimenting with my router

seems its my laptop software that cannot show anything newer than WPA
so all the newer ones just show as security enabled

seems i can only connect with WPA as laptop and card are a bit out of date

picked a long key though

thanks
