Adapter and SP2

I cannot get my wireless adapter to recognize the WEP key
after XP SP2 is installed. I disabled the SP2 firewall
and it still doesn't allow the adapter to recognize the
WEP key. The adapter recognizes the home network but not
the WEP key. Any suggestion (other than uninstalling SP2?

The answer to my issue:
Uninstall SP 2 and get the network working again. After
you are connected to your network, install SP2 again.
After you install SP 2, you will lose your network
connection. Within the broadband utility on the second
pc, run the set up wizard again and put your WEP in again
at that point. It took me about a week to figure all this
out, but tonight I am finally connected to my network on
both computers and SP 2 with firewalls turned on is
successfully installed. Even though the broadband network
says we don't need additional firewalls, what could it
hurt? Good luck and be patient. It's great when it's
working correctly.
