Wireless First Timer

Incoming DSL (bellsouth) via WESTELL modem. It is connected to a Linksys WRT54GS router that I installed last night.

Port 1 on the router is connected via ethernet to computer #1.

Computer #2 is connected by port 2 of the router by ethernet.

Computer #3 is a HP laptop connected to the router with a Linksys WPC54GS card. So far everything works great!

Then I try to connect computer #4 (Dell Latitude D600) which has a built in wireless G and can see the network with 100% strength. I put in my software key (the entire network is WEP enabled) and can even "logon". Packets are sent from the Laptop to the router but nothing received.

Am I missing something? Please help. This is my first wireless experience and I'm starting to think I should have run more CAT5e!

Thanks in advance,
Phil
