I have a problem with the wifi connection at work (I'm not a wifi expert, so....be patient ;) )
The access point is "WEP proctected" and I can connect with my "old" Clie TH55 with the WEP 26 hex key and this settings:
-------------
WEP 104/128bit:26figures
advance setup/authentication: Shared key
-------------
My new TX find the access point and show the SSID; I've configure it but I can't connect to the network
I've try to fill the checkbox "four key" but still doesen't work...
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I should have added that when I try to enter my 26 hex key my Palm, says that the key I have enter is not compatible with the Selected Key Type. This is strange because it works with all the computers I have.

If anyone has any tips on how to enter the hex keys for WEP 104 bit Hex key on the TX let me know, I'm finding it very frustrating that I can't use WiFi, but at least I can use Bluetooth.

I tried a prefix of 0x, but this still doesn't work.
Any other ideas?

Apparently there is a bug in the Palm WEP setting that requires that you have a least one Alpha character in the WEP Key, or it will say that the WEP Key is not valid, and won't let you connect to the Wireless AP.
