Airport needs new Wep, but wont ask!

[leroy84]

Hi Everyone,
First of all- Thanks. You all seriously keep the economy running, marriages together, planes from falling, babys being born and Aliens from invading.

Secondly the problem....

Our Macbook in London is used to control a broadband/wireless modem router for a cafe. We decided to change the password (so extra people at home aren't crowding the bandwidth) and this is where it went wrong.

Upon committing the change of password the mac locks up. We had to restart the macbook. Airport still thinks it knows the password and happily shows full signal strength and wont ask for the password but cant log onto the net.

Things Ive tried....

Unplug and restart modem
Shutdown Airport
Restart Macbook
Airport- attempt to log onto other network then switch back
Scrounge around google and mac rumors

Any thoughts / suggestions?

Regards.

Leroy

Try deleting the WEP key from Keychain Access (found in Applications—>Utilities). Go to login on the left and find the one thats your network name in the list; next to it should say 'Airport network password'; highlight the field, right click and select 'Delete…"

Restart the computer and try again to reselect your network; it should ask for the key.
