Ok,  So I got the wireless up and running(the wired desktop is connected
and working) and my laptop see the network as an option.  Then when it
asks me for my WEP password, it tells me I am using the wrong one(even
though Im using the one I set it as).  I havent really changed anything
else.  And I know this is completely the wrong forum to ask this..
Thanks again, 
CM
