[X4U] intel iMac and windows xp and wirless network

[alexandre]

kansast… wireless networking works but:

in xp, when you try to join your network, it'll ask you for your  
password. in my case, my password was a name (like "mozambique"). xp  
wouldn't accept this.

go to system preferences > network. show "airport". then , in the  
list of available networks, select the one you want to join, and  
click "edit" below. from the window that opens, copy your password  
and paste it into a textedit document. transfer this doc over to your  
windows machine and copy-paste the password when trying to join your  
network…

worked for me…

maybe somebody can enlighten us/me on why windows won't accept a  
regular password and instead needs some hexadecimal-or-something  
version of it. or maybe i'm missing something…!
