Somw security on wifi network
Hi,
I just set up a small wireless network : 1 Rooter Wireless Netgear WGR614 54 Mbds - 3 computers. The first (A) on Mandrake 10.0 with a wireless NetGear WG511 card, the second (B) on Fedora FC2 with a NetGear W511, the third (C) on Mandrake 10.0 with an Ethernet/Cable card. The last one is going to be a server for printing purpose or else. I have two problems:
1) All computers connect well to the internet. The server (C) recognize (ping) the two computers. From (A) I can ping (B) and from (B), (A). But from (A) and (B) I can't connect the server. The firewall on the server has been disabled.
2) The second problem is related to Security . I would like to setup some security on the wifi with WEP (I know it is not perfect but it seemed simple to setup). I entered a passphrase on the NETGEAR router which generated a 168 bit key. I copied this key on the wifi configuration panel of each computer, but I lost the connection to the rooter.
I tried the key as is, with 0x in the begining (as specified on Fedora) with no success. I think the second problem should be easy to solve but...I googled a lot but didn't find a clear page saying how to dot it.
Some help would be appreciated.
Gerard
