Trying to set up WPA on Netgear WGT624 v2

Hi I'm trying to set up a WPA on my Netgear WGT624 v2 router but its having none of it.

I've followed this...

http://kbserver.netgear.com/kb_web_files/n101675.asp

and every time I make a WPA up it refreshes then I can't connect as the computer hasn't be authorized. I did it the other way round by authorising the computer first then putting the WPA in but it just states it's updating, refreshes itself then I get unable to connect and the connection is down.

Can anybody advise me on this?

Thanks

    Try using a 63 char HEX string from here i.e. Top box and remove the last character. Save the string to a notepad file so that you can copy and paste when required.

    Some devices dont like to talk to each other if you dont use HEX.
