Hey Jim,
What kind of hardware are you using?
I ran into this with an older card that would only support up to WEP
128 (whoo hoo!).  Though the cool thing about the card wa that it was
Win98 compatible ;-).
I also ran into something on an 802.11n router, where you had to use
WPA to enable "n".
Peace
