Not only do I not knoe how to spell I found and fixed this problem.  It had to do with setting the profile correctly with the WEP-PERSONAL so the number and type of password characters would work.
New install of XP Pro. I am trying to set up the wireless internet and when I enter my pass Key I get back an error message  "The network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits depending on your network configuration.  it can be entered as 5 or 13 ascii characters or to or 26 hexadecimal characters" I have never seen this before and do not knoe what to do, any help?
