Can someone help me understand this?  It has been driving me up a wall looking for a cause and/or solution.  What is described below happened with the old hardware as well.  I had finally decided to update my wireless AP hoping it would solve the issue and support some new projects.  
<br><br>Today I replaced my old Linksys 802.11b wireless AP/router/4 port switch with a Linksys WRT54G (sorry, thought I had bought the GL but...).&nbsp; I configured it to use 128 bit WEP instead of the 64 bit I had been using.&nbsp; I also got my TiVo wireless to talk to it as well as a Buffalo WLI-TX4-G54HP Ethernet converter.&nbsp; 
<br><br>Unfortunately, I can't seem to get my Toshiba 5105-S701 with built-in 802.11b to talk to the linksys AP under either Ubuntu 6.06 or Windows XP Home (it dual boots).&nbsp; The Toshaba DOES talk to open WiFi nets and to the managed WiFi down at the installfest.&nbsp; I have checked and rechecked the WEP keys, channel settings and so forth to no avail.&nbsp; Oh and looking at /var/log/syslog shows the device seems to support 104 bit WEP which I understand somehow is supposed to wotk with 128 bit as well (don't ask me, I found it in two manuals).
<br><br>I have read on some web sites that WEP has evolved somewhat including the encryption algorythm. I am tentatively assuming that the Toshiba uses some denigrated form of hardware encryption and that is why it is not working.&nbsp; The fly in the ointment is that it DOES work down at the installfest.&nbsp; Hence my confusion.
