Why? <br /><br /> This happens to him at another friend's house, too. He can locate my wireless network on his computer, and type in the password, but the "okay" button to enter it is not clickable. This is on a Mac, if that matters.<br> <br> My wireless connection currently "feeds" two computers. I logged out of it to see if it was "full", but it didn't help. Any ideas? post:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.52528 Wed, 06 Dec 2006 10:40:01 -0800 interrobang wireless mac password http://ask.metafilter.com/52528/Connecting-to-a-Wireless-Network#792593 My guess is you've got an encryption scheme selected that requires a password of a certain length, and you haven't entered enough characters for it to be valid.<br> <br> This probably means you haven't selected the right encryption scheme in the first place in the Connect To dialog. comment:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.52528-792593 Wed, 06 Dec 2006 11:35:12 -0800 cillit bang http://ask.metafilter.com/52528/Connecting-to-a-Wireless-Network#792599 That was it!
