Right, just just securing my network & im told to use 128bit WEP

now what the fuck is a passpharse? ask's me to put a passpharse & has a generater on the it too?

helP? what do i do lol

 

Just choose a random password and the system does the rest.....

Then simply put the same password in the generator of other PC`s on the system and everything will talk to the others....

 

Note: To automatically generate hex pairs using a PassPhrase, check the box on the left and input the passphrase here

 

Oh and WPA is a little more secure if you have that option....

 

do i put that in passpharse box? or generator thing lol

 

i had that that last time but it takes some of the perfmance away

 

WPA is a lot more secure though.....

just put your password in the passphrase box and it will generate the hex codes.....

 

right, i have put in my password i want, i havent clicked save it,

what will i need to do after?

 

Didnt know that

Would you notice the difference downloading stuff ?

Like say normally I get about 300kbs on newsgroups would I see that increase ?


Steve

 

shouldn`t have to do anything mate,you will see boxes with hex codes in,you can either copy these into the other pc`s or just put the same passphrase in to them and it should all work ok...

 

You shouldn`t notice a big difference in performance,also depends on connection speed/wether you are running through a peer etc...

 

Its SO unsecure anyway, will stop the normal stop n try and surf people, but to get round WEP is to just sit outside someones house with 2 wireless devices, send data to the AP using one and analyse the packets with the other

And hiding the SSID? Give me a break

 

Unfortunately Stu`s right,WEP is laughable and unless you want to spend a few bob security is only ever gonna stop the opportunists...

if i save it, it will lock my network & i wont have access to it unless i click on perperties then this box (above) comes up, what do i need to do?

 

Change your security type to WPA/SSK then put the passphrase in the router,you then have to do the same in the network properties of your pc......hopefully it will then talk....

 

i wanted it to keep it WEP key, its for my laptop/ps3 mate, i got rid of my PC

so its wireless not wired

 

Heres a good page to read, if you want good security for your wifi network
