Wireless Security (WEP key) affects Outlook Mail

Hi

I've got outlook 2000 running fine. I recently installed a wireless
router (Actiontec) and have got a wireless card for my notebook
(Belkin). Even more recently I added a WEP key to the wireless network
for added security. Ever since then, Outlook can't find the mail
servers (Pop / SMTP). I can't get any of my mail. But if I remove the
128-bit key, all is fine again.


Anyone know how I can secure the network and continue to use email?


Thanks
Sean

Is it only affecting e-mail? Can you still browse the internet when
using encryption?

If it's only affecting your e-mail it would be rather odd. If it's
affecting you internet in general you might want to check that the
encryption settings on your router matches that of your PC. Some NIC's
do not support 128-bit encryption and that might be your problem.
