Hi Try to use WPA, WEP is Not safe, and "Quirky" to begin with. From the weakest to the strongest, Wireless security capacity is. No Security MAC______(Band Aid if nothing else is available). WEP64____(Easy, to "Break" by knowledgeable people). WEP128___(A little Harder, but "Hackable" too). WPA-PSK__(Very Hard to Break). WPA-AES__(Not functionally Breakable) WPA2____ (Not functionally Breakable). Note 1: WPA-AES the the current entry level rendition of WPA2. Note 2: If you use WinXP and did not updated it you would have to download the WPA2 patch from Microsoft. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893357 The documentation of your Wireless devices (Wireless Router, and Wireless Computer's Card) should state the type of security that is available with your Wireless hardware. All devices MUST be set to the same security level using the same pass phrase. Therefore the security must be set according what ever is the best possible of one of the Wireless devices. I.e. even if most of your system might be capable to be configured to the max. with WPA2, but one device is only capable to be configured to max . of WEP, to whole system must be configured to WEP. If you need more good security and one device (like a Wireless card that can do WEP only) is holding better security for the whole Network, replace the device with a better one.

Powerline adapters are a better solution in many cases. They are easier to install, secure, more resistant to interferences. You'll never have to search for new drivers and worry about WZC, passwords, SSIDs.

I've had great success in the home environment but ensure you test well in any industrial or business environment as I've tried 5 roll-outs now with initial success but drop outs after around 20 minutes. I've tested around 4 brands now and ZyXEL seem to be the most reliable.

I ensured that the XP computer was updated and changed the wireless router to WPA2 and it connected all my computers without any issues. Your information was the assistance that I needed. I no longer have the "Validating Identity" with the internet connection on the XP computer. Agian thank you for your advice. -- Big Ken "Jack (MVP-Networking)." wrote: On Monday, September 15, 2008 11:03 AM Pavel A. wrote: Re: wireless connection "validating Identity" Stephen Liffen wrote: I have Devolo starter kit (pair of preconfigured adapters) and another chinese model (Shiro), all based on Intellon 85 Mbps core.

I downloaded WP2 patch and installed it immediately. But I`m still stuck in problem. Could you explain me how to change WEP to WPA. I`m not computer specialist, just a user.

Not all adapters can do WPA2. In your setup of your PC's wireless, what options you have are all you will get. A quick check of you spec sheet on the adapter will also tell you. As Jack stated, WEP is bad, WPA(any sort) is better. It should be in a scroll down list or radio buttons etc. Its vendor different so I can't be specific. OT: One other choice if you are using the manufacturers setup software is you might try letting windows manage the wireless. Its different software. You should have seen maybe a question pop up asking this. It did on mine now and then, or there is a check box for it. Its just an option if you get flustered with the problem.
