Does your access point support MAC filtering? Is so, turn it on for your
wireless LAN card. If you have another PC with wireless, try connecting to
it with either no WEP or an invalid key. Also, you should be able to do a
scan and not see your SSID appear. Those are some simple ways to test to
ensure things are properly setup.
