Security is WPA/WPA2.

It's a 10 digit code generated by the router (or software) itself. The message I get said something like it needs to be 5 - 13 characters in plain text or 10 - 26 in hexadecimal.

Standard XP machine. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
WEP is not the same as WPA ... WPA uses a password of whatever length, WEP requires a certain number of digits
