Anyway i recently installed Ultimate Edition 2.0 Gamer Edition to my laptop and now im having some network issue's. I happend to have the correct drivers for Windows XP on a usb stick and sense NDIS Wrapper came preinstalled with Ultimate Edition i installed them. Instalation worked perfectly although NDIS Wrapper "loses" the driver everytime i restart my computer. Now to the real issue. When i installed my driver all the wireless networks in the area pops up including my dads wich i will be connecting to. When connecting a screen pops up telling me to insert Encryption Key so i did(My dads encryption is wep)so i choose wep 32/128(I think) and inserted the key. It takes like 1 minute trying to connect and then the same screen pops up with a super long key and im not connected. What should i do?
Thanks for any answer.

Hi & welcome
TIP1:
I had the same issue on my friends Lenovo Laptop. In that case I've just installed some DHCP and DNS dev packages and when it came to screen with WEP request I did not change the encryption type just put in the password because Linux "makes a right choice" for you...
TIP2:
However it can be something else as well: try to go to network manual configuration and edit settings of your preferred wireless access point preferences. Using NDIS sometimes for some reason the form does not have a mac of your interface or it cannot pick-up BSSID of preferred AP, so try to fill & save that info manually that it should connect next time automatically. Once again it doesn't mean that it is your issue, just a tip...
TIP3:
The most weird stuff that sometimes happens as well: may be it is stupid, but anyway - how do you put in the password meaning do you type in "
:" after each second character? I know for someone it sounds silly, but believe it or not I know someone who had cracked a lot of wireless networks just for fun and never connected to any of them. And once we went to a plaza hotel and he has forgotten his usb modem at home and needed a web access emergency, so now he had to crack with purpose... After 10 minutes he got a password something like this 2E:8D:BF:T4:1F and he is putting it in and it is doesn't go... I was
LMAO
so I told him to put all that crap without
