I have a wireless router and am trying to GET the family computers all hooked up again. I had to REINSTALL the software of the computer which is hooked up to the internet service (cable internet) and so then I had to configure router settings again. We have Linksys router and 1 wireless adapter card and the other computer has built-in wifi with it.

I never used security settings in the PAST because I just assumed the default settings were the secure settings. When I found out they weren't I wanted to set up the security settings, naturally.

the wireless card is not able to use WPA so I had to use WEP settings at 128 bit.

I have the laptop with the card hooked up and I typed in the WEP key etc. It's connected and I'm using that now.

My problem is getting the computer with the built-in wifi to be able to connect too. I thought I typed in the STUFF correctly but it's not connecting.

That computer has Windows XP.

I went into Network Connections and clicked on the connection then clicked Properties then clicked Wireless NETWORKS tab then selected the SSID name from the list and clicked Properties button.

for Network Authentication I selected "open"
for data encryption I selected "WEP"
in the network key box I copy/pasted the long 26 character code that Linksys had generated for the password I selected. It had generated 4 of those codes and I assumed any code would be able to connect. The computer I am using now connected with the first code. I tried two of the codes for the other computer but it doesn't connect.

What am I doing wrong here?Do you get any error messages?
Have you tried updating the driver for the wireless adapter?I'm not sure why it wasn't working before but it's working now. My husband said he clicked some button that said "repair connection". I had tried that myself and it didn't work when I tried it
