Try using the hex value for the key

Done that but access still fails.

(you didn't say if you added the pda's mac adress too,
just the belkin and 3com)

I've entered the MAC address of anything and everything I've got into
both the Belkin and 3Com, but I can try turning it off when I get back
to it later.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Just out of curiosity, have you tried turning off the range extender? as
long as you are doing the wep turn off, can you try that too? (PS does the
PDA access the original wap's ssid or the range extenders? (some range
extenders work sort of funny, for debugging I just play george jetson and
turn everything off, and then turn things back on one by one till they fail)

Another oddity, while I have the stuff set for a longer wep phrase (6 ascii
characters in the wap/router), mine only looks like it only actually takes 5
characters/10 Hex Charcters... On my wap/router i put in 6 characters for a
wep key, but on the PDA I only have 5 (10 as hex stuff) Maybe the PDA in
actuality only supports 40 bit? (my ipaq and dell only did that)... As an
aside, I forget which pda you said you had, but there are programs ut there
that support WPA (I used to do that until I added Tivo's that only support
WEP, so I had to dial it back)
