Can't Connect to Secured Network

I have a Dell Dimension running XP Pro with a D-Link wireless card that
has recently been moved to a new office. In the old office it connected
with no problem to the wireless network that was secured via WEP. In the
new office I tested the wirelss network setup (it's a D-Link WBR 1310
router) first with no security it and it connects fine. Once I apply
security (tried both WEP and WPA) it will not connect. The window comes
up "waiting for wireless network", it never connects. Removing the
security allows it to connect fine. Any ideas? I have double checked
all the settings and can see nothing wrong.
Thanks.

With (yuck) WEP, enter all keys in *hex* (not ASCII characters).

Shouldn't be a problem with WPA *if* you're entered the *exact* same
key.
