Notebook not connecting to network on wireless

I have a MN-700 wireless base station and a Linksys PC card - 802.11g on my
notebook.

Using 64-bit and WEP key security system, my notebook will not connect to
the base station. If I leave the security at disabled, it works. However, I
want to have some security. Much to my amazement, I was able to "hitchhike"
on someone's wireless network nearby that was open.

My PC is wired to the base station and works fine. I am using WIN XP Pro. on
both the PC and the notebook.

Any help here would be very grateful.
Norm.

Uninstall any software that your linksys wireless card came with And use
the following services to configure your wireless connection SSDP
Discovery Service, Universal Plug and Play Device Host, & wireless zero
configuration. All three are needed to configure a wireless network on
Windows XP. You may also try downloading SP2 from
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/winxpsp2/ or
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads or
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro...on132121120120

As they keep moving the location of it. This will add WPA support into
your copy of Windows XP along with a ton of other fixes.
