Adding additional wireless adapters and PCs to existing net

I'm currently running two PCs in a network using the MN-
500 base station and one MN-510 wireless adapter. These
have been running for two years without a problem. I
have two new PCs that I'd like to connect in the
network. I purchased two new adapters, another MN-510
and a MN-520. Neither of the new adapters would allow
the new PCs to connect. However, the original MN-510
will work on both new PCs. I successfully connect to the
MS website and downloaded and installed all updates, so
both new PCs are up-to-date. I've spent countless hours
working on this problem on the phone with MS techs and
alone. An MS tech decided that I had two bad adapters
and advised me to return them to the store for two new
ones. I did this yesterday, only to discover the second
two adapters are behaving the same way. Could there be a
bad batch of adapters at the store? I got the last two B
adapters they had. I don't know what to do next. Please
help me!

Do you have WEP/WPA enbaled on the base station? IF so, you need to add the
WEP key to the new machines as well.
