Can't Connect in XP with LinkSys WMP54G to Netgear WGR614

All,

I bought a Wireless Access Point with NAT and everything to replace my
old one because I eventually want to go all wireless. I got a Netgear
WGR614 access point and a Linksys WMP54G PCI desktop card (because
there were no ..11g Netgear cards in stock).

So, installing the Access Point and making it do NAT and firewalls and
hand out ip addresses to my wired network devices was trivial. No
problems, password changed on the router, etc, the basics.

I also enabled it as an Access Point, set it to 128 bit shared
encryption and put in a 26 digit hex key in the WEP section.

On my XP box, I installed the Linksys card, installed the software,
and XP added the wireless network to my bridge (and there is already a
wired device with a seperate connection; both are in the bridge). I
told it the WEP 128-bit 26 char hex key I used and all SEEMS well at
first glance ... I have an icon in my Notification area that shows
BOTH my Wired AND my Wireless connection icons as connected.

HOWEVER, no data is coming across the wireless connection. The status
is "connected" with "strong signal strength" but I see no data coming
across it. However, when looking on the router side, I only have a
connection from my PC via the wired connection.

So, I go and right click on my "connected" icon on the Notification
area for the Wireless network, and I select REPAIR. I get a pop-up
telling me "TCP/IP is not enabled for this connection. Cannot
proceed."

SO .. it appears I don't have an IP address or TCP/IP associated with
the wireless portion, only the wired. However, in my Network Bridge, I
have both my wireless and my wired adapters enabled, and in the "This
Connection Uses" section, TCP/IP IS active. Funky.

How do I enable TCP/IP on my wireless NIC and/or make my wireless
connection DO anything?

Help and advice is appreciated.
