I have a pcg-k315z and it wil not work with the wpa security.
my other laptop has the same vendor pmcia as the router and it works fine with wpa.
The sony laptop wil not accept the wpa function.only the wep function works.
If i use wpa it wil connect to the router but i can not go to the internet.

Normally your labtop works with WPA.
I don't know why not.

Check the configuraten

1. Network authentication..............WPA-PSK or only WPA
2. Data encoding.............................TKIP or AES (I think TKIP)
3. the Network kee

don't forget the network name

use you a automaticly IP-address or not.
when not, look for the correct IP Address, Standard Getaway, etc.

Mmh:smileythinking:

Have you checked whether the Router know the MAC-Address from your Network card?

Accepts the Router new Network cards?

You can find the MAC-address from your Network card in the connect-details.(physical address).

This address is individual, all network cards have other MAC-addresses.

You seal off the router when you give the router the specific MAC-addresses from your Network-cards +the deactivation of the option "accept new MAC-addresses" on the Router.(excuse me for my english)

But, sorry I think that's not the answer of your question.:smileysad:

Yeah, that's logical

Sorry, I've no idea, I can't help you more. That's the end from my wisdom.

Have you used the e-support ?
I mean the manufacturer from your Router.

(Da ist irgendwo der Wurm drin)

Until you have an answer of your question, I would try to use a stronger key ( like 152Bit or hire).

Watch out your traffic. WEP use a strong key-------> one key for the connection, uninteresting how long.

That's critical for the security, when you have a big traffic.

Sorry, Good luck
