Hi, yes it does, but unfortunately I can't help you on that one, except to say it might tell you in the documentation for your laptop. Sorry I couldn't be of any more help, but perhaps someone more knowledgeable might be able to. Good luck.

Hi Chris -When I was first setting up the network from the installation wizard, I chose wep over wpa security, because I didn't know what my PC had in the way of this kind of security; I know my laptop has the latest WPA or whatever it is called, but my PC is 5 years old now, so I thought it was probably more likely to have wep.How do I check what the PC has for network security, and can I just change it to WPA to increase security levels as the laptop has this level? I hope this makes sense! -Andy----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2008 6:15 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Laptop connection to network problem | Hi Andy, although this wireless connection I use here uses WPA-personal, | another type of encryption, you may want to look in your wireless | connection's properties, under the security page.
