I've recently gotten my hands on an old DELL Latitude C600. It currently runs Windows XP service pack 3. I brought it home hoping to hook it up to the internet and just mess around with it. It came with a CISCO AIRONET 350 series wireless LAN adapter plugged into a slot on the side. It gives me an error about not the right characters.
I think it might be the wireless card, but is there anything I can do to fix this error?
by the way, my wi-fi has WPA2 encryption.
If you need any more information or pics of the laptop that might help, I can do that.
That is shady as well no one can trust that link because its a mail attachment. More less we cannot access it without logging into google, even then does not mean we can.
Given how old the system may be, it may not support WPA2 really, I know some devices "wireless" during windows XP days that cannot and you may have to try a different encryption.
Sorry about the link I didn't realize, I couldn't figure out how to put the picture in the post. But it just showed an error: The network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits depending on your network configuation. This can be entered as 5 or 13 ascii characters or 10 or 26 hexadecimal charcaters.
If I was to buy a newer wireless card I'm guessing that that would fix it?

Either get a wifi dongle/expresscard or replace the wifi module in the laptop with a newer one.
