i dont know what to do. i own a linksys wireless router and i was trying to to get my dell insperion to connect to it wirelessly. so i when to search for wireless internet connections it found it when i clicked on it instead of giving me a window that ask for a network key it connected but it wont let me get on the internet. so i figured it was a wep problem. so i when back to ( i think its called windows zero connection utility) to view my wireless connections. then when to advanced settings then wireless networks the to the properties of the connection. i have a 26 character key. but its only showing 8 or 10 black dots that represent the password. when i try to enter it in it wont let me save it. when i click ok and go back in it. it gos back to the 8 or 10 numbers or letters instead of the 26 digit key. can anyone help me?
