Changing WEP Authentication Type - Internet Sharing
OK, this is a question for those who are techi and are up to the challenge.
I am currently using my Mac (OS X 10.4.10) to share it's AirPort Extreme WiFi connection and using a WEP key. However I have done my research and found that the Airport Extreme cards use the Shared System method of authenticating the WEP key. However, with that setting, when a Windows XP machine attempts to connect, it is unable to do so unless it is setup to authenticate using a shared key.
Now comes the challenge:
Is there anyway to change the Internet Sharing to disperse the WEP key in Open System mode?
I have been looking through all the various Terminal commands and have had no luck finding something useful. Then today I looked through all the .plist files to find if there was something there to change the setting...I found a few regarding the AirPort but they were all for the client side...not the apache serve side (ie the internet sharing).
Anyhow I am not by any means a fluent Unix/Mac user but I am a quick learner and I know quite a bit about computers, so feel free to delve deep into the interworkings of how to do this...I will do my best to follow.
Thank you!
