I just grabbed a new Tungsten C and am trying to connect to my wireless network. The machine can see the airport network, but cannot make a connection. I do have WEP enabled, and I entered the password in both 40 abd 108 bit passphrases and was unsucessful. Anyone using this combination?

Yep, I'm using my Tungsten C on my AirPort Extreme wireless network and it connected to the internet instantly.

However, wireless SYNCING isn't supported on Macs yet, however it wirelessly synced w/ my PC on my wireless network instantly as well...are you trying to get online or sync?

My Tungsten C is working at my work with WEP enabled. I'm not sure how to help you though...

What I did was enter my password, checked to make SURE it was entered correctly , then cycled through the list of keys until it would take it (you know - the key has to match the length of the password blah-blah-blah) and try to connect.

Since there were only a few combinations, I found it pretty easily. Also, if you have total control over the airport, you could log in and MAKE SURE you have the right password by re-entering it.

Good luck! It really works like a dream; extremely fast.
