WEP = pants ?

[Snow-Munki]

Hi,

trying to get an old laptop on the WLAN, however for some reason whenever i use WPA it is very flaky. Sometimes it connects but most of the time it just can't authicate, and says network cable unplugged ??

With WEP everything works ok though.

I have disable SSID broadcast, MAC address filtering and disable DHCP server, should i still be 'worried'

or a dodgy wireless card ? its a D-link one which i'm borrowing, could always get a another one.

Thanks

so i should consider trying / getting another WLAN card as the current d-link ones doesn't always seem to connect using WPA.

then again just thinking where i live, ppl don't even have PC's let alone wireless networks ( i think )
