I only reported what is entered. Confused? Of course. That's why I
posted this.

In the router I entered a 10 digit decimal, as suggested by Linksys.
I entered the same number in W2K and it works.

My only clue was that WLAN monitor truncated the key to five digits.
So, I am wondering if it a decimal vs hex issue. I just used the
passphrase-generate function in both the router and WLAN monitor. The
numbers generated are the same except that the router does not have
the x after the front 0.

It is now connected as private.

I have a second profile that connects to the WEB thru my neighbors
public router. Isn't that what neighbors are for?

Now to see if I can get wired working without killing wireless.
