I don't know the layers of 802.11g well enough to know if this is actually the case (though it would make sense). If there is no, "Yes, that's the key, thanks have a nice day" sort of mechanism, the Squeezebox (or any other wireless client) has no way of knowing whether it got the key right at all. It's not like a wired lan where there's a carrier signal that can be verified... it's "Okay, I sent a DHCP request, encrypted with the key you gave me, but I didn't get a response..." Which could mean either the key was bad (and the router spit it out because it couldn't decrypt it) or that the DHCP server is down. It's 1:30am here, so don't know if that explanation is clear... It's my bet (someone with more details on 802.11g may be able to confirm or deny this theory) that the protocols just don't allow a real "yes, I'm on the net, but with the wrong key" sort of error. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19465 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
