Also I had to use Hex vs ASCII for password mode in order to connect
to a "Windows" router.
It has something to do with how the Mac & Windows handle password
encoding differently.

Here's the problem. We have an airport network: original Airport base
station (bought in 2000, Graphite?), Linksys "hub" (2000),
PowerBook G3
running OS X 10.3.9 with old (2000) Airport card, iMac G4 same OS
hooked to
RoadRunner cable modem by ethernet, and a brand new Airport Express
hooked
to stereo system downstairs. All of this works great. Without any
security
enabled, my niece, who is staying with us for a couple months and
has a Sony
Vaio laptop running XP, could see the network and join in sharing our
internet connection with no problem. But when we enabled the
security so the
rest of the neighborhood couldn't join in, she could still see the
network
with good signal, but couldn't get in. With the old Airport, we are
limited
to WEP 40-bit encryption and I gave her the correct 13-character
password
(all alpha in this case), but she still can't get on. Any
suggestions? (I'm
in Digest Mode.)
Thanks,
Cheryl
