WEP - Please help!

In my wireless properties - association tab, I have set my Data encryption to
WEP. On the authentication tab I have ticked the Enable IEEE 802.1x
authentication for this network. EAP type protected EAP (PEAP). However
when I looked at wireless networks in range mine appears but still states it
is unsecure. I can see others and they quote "security enabled wirless
network (WPA)
Why is mine still unsecure? If other people are in range of my wirless
connection will it show as secure to them?
Thanks

Hi
If your wireless is Not a Server type with special authentication do not Do
not use On the authentication tab I have ticked the Enable IEEE 802.1x.
Make sure that you type the WEP correctly in both the Wireless Router
(Access Point) and the Client computer.

Hi

Unless you are using a server OS with special Wireless application (like
Windows 2003 with IAS) you should check the: "Enable IEEE 802.1x
authentication for this network. EAP type protected EAP (PEAP)".

To secure your system you have to set the security (WEP or better WPA) in
both the Wireless Client and the Wireless source (Wireless Router, Access
Point) and configure matching encryption keys.

Read your Wireless Router manual to configure the Source side.
