hi guys (and gals), i have recently been given an old ibm thinkpad t21 laptop, and a netgear dg834g wireless router/modem/switch. i also have in my possesion this Welcome to Addon Technology. usb wireless adaptor. my problem is that the wirelessness works perfectly when i have it set to no security, but as soon as i try and enable any, even including simple WEP, i just cannot get on the network. i use the xp wireless setup thingy, when there is no security put on, it finds the network and jumps on straight away. but when i try the same thing with WEP or any other security on, it finds the network, and just stays on "aquiring network address". i dont even get a chance to put in any passwords ect. there are no "allow only these ip addys to join network" options that i have turned on.
obviously then, i want to be able to wirelessly use the network/internet but with security.
any help much appreciated!!
thanks in advance
