my network is a "livebox" router SAGEM fast 3302 the DHCP is ON, i have a 128 WEP key, and every time i try to connect in "auto-detection mode" its still trying to find the path, but after few seconds is come back with the "start menu" asking again for the keys, but im sure the wep key is ok! Because in manual mode is working fine why the auto mode is not working?
