Strange problem with ad-hoc connections

[rokit5]

Hi there,

I'm new to the forum... Hello everyone!

I did check the tutorials (as well as many google searches) but I couldn't find a mention of this particular issue I'm having.

Basically, when I try to create a wireless ad-hoc network, when I come to the screen that asks me for the network name, the security type etc, the only way I can hit next is if I select 'no encryption'. If I try to select WEP or WPA then when I hit next nothing happens.

I've tried bypassing this by creating the network unsecured, then selecting the properties of the ad-hoc connection and changing it from there, but I encounter the same problem.

Has anyone had any experience of this before?

Many thanks,
Luke
