You need to ensure that all devices can handle your encryption method of choice. On Linux boxes the usual application is wpa_supplicant. Unfortunately I can't help you configure it under FC8 as I use Debian, but I'm sure you'll find HOWTOs now you know the package name. As a hint, use a pseudo-random sequence of characters that is longer than 12 or so. Shorter than eight and you can potentially open up your network to a dictionary (brute force) attack. Chris
