WEP Problems

[imported_Swami]

Im having some problems connecting to the internet. My network background:

Computer 1(host)
pIII
win 98 SE

Computer 2(client)
p4
win xp

The host computer is hooked up the my version 1 netgear (MR814) 802.11B router. My 2nd computer has a (ME101) 802.11B USB adapter. I have latest firmware & drivers for both.

WEP disabled, both computers have access to the web.

Ive added the mac address to the "wireless card access list" in my router'settings. I choose "share key" under authentication type. 64 bit encription I have access on the host computer, but my 2nd computer cannot browse, but I see the ssid in the availble network box. 128 bit, host is fine, 2nd comp cannot connect and cannot see any availble ssids

I match up the keys, but no connection. Ive looked @ netgears website for support & varias XP "help" topics with no progress. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

I'm starting to lose you here. So the p3 works both at 64 and at 128, but the p4 won't work at either right?

Ya, the P3 works with WEP on or off with any encription. The p4 with win xp works only without. On the P4, when I have 64bit encription on, the network is connected, XP tells me the signal strength is good, but I can't browse with IE or play any online games. When 128bit is enabled, there are no networks availble to connect to.
