Wireless internet conection?

I have a laptop running win xp and im having problems connecting to my sky broadband via my netgear wireless hub. All my other laptops work typing in 8 charater network key but this one only lets me put in one that has 13 charaters. I have tried putting in 13 charater seriel code from hub byt that doesn't work. How can i change setting so it takes my 8 charater network key?Wireless internet conection?
The WEP key can be input as HEX characters or ASCII characters, and usually both. Different manufacturers give you different options.



XP looks at what you typed in and tries to read your mind about what type of key you are using, so it should accept the 8 character code.Wireless internet conection?
You should have a drop down box to select between ascii and hex...
