| 1125775 | 2010-08-08 18:39:00 | I've recently re-installed Windows XP 32 Bit on my Toshiba Satellite Pro A120. I don't have the disc with all the original drivers for it so I've had to download them from the internet. My problem is that when trying to connect to a wireless network I get the error message; "The network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits depending on your network configuration. This can be entered as 5 or 13 ascii characters or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters." After a bit of Googling I found out this is due to outdated drivers (WLan I think) which I can update here (aps2.toshiba-tro.de). I've tried installing each type of the drivers listed ( Atheros, Broadcom, Intel & Realtek) however I still receive the error message above. I also cannot connect via Ethernet and the site I linked doesn't have LAN drivers available for my laptop model. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! |

Yes, the password is 12 characters. Before I re-installed windows I could connect to the Wi-Fi fine. I disabled the protection and it connected fine, I then changed the password to 16 characters which it accepted, it then shows the connection as having limited connectivity which is actually none at all. |

Older wi-fi devices will struggle with encryption over-head....also, ensure you are fully service packed to version 3, as I think SP2 enabled WPA, or was it WPA2? |
