when a wireless network with a lock, how can we tell whether it's a wep or wpa lock?

wep is a 64 bit encryption...not extremely difficult to figure out the password. example: E1 F3 A1 11 E4

wpa is more complicated. alot harder to break into If it detects an attempt to break into your network it will shut the network down for 30 seconds.

oh..if wpa shut down the network for 30s does that mean the owner of the network cant use it too?

In many cases you can't easily. Much of the WNIC software reports WEP as soon as it detects encryption even though the networok is WPA encrypted.
