I have a Win98 machine with a belkin 802.11b wireless adaptor and a WinXP machine with a Linksys 802.11g wireless adaptor - And a WRT54G router connected to my ntl250 CM.

The router is set for 128bit WEP encryption and the WinXP machine connects without any problems. However, the Win98 machine fails because the encryption is not correct.

I have generated the encryption code from the same passphrase on both machines, but the Win98 machine does not connect. Should the be anything different with encryption with Win98 v WinXP or the Belkin software v the Linksys software?

Thanks
