wireless networking on my laptop

[JMaster]

I just got a Cisco wireless mini-pc card, so I installed it in my thinkpad. Installed the drivers, etc...
When I try to search for a wireless network, the one that is installed at my apartment doesn't come up.
I manually entered the SSID and put in the correct WEP values, but it can't connect to the wireless router. I know our wireless network should work, because my roommate has a laptop and uses it all the time. Any suggestions?
BTW I'm running XP.

Do you have to sign up or anything for the service first?

Do you guys have MAC address filtering turned on?

No. I got it to recognize and connect to the network somehow. It shows signal strength is good, etc...
But when I unplug or disable the Local Area Connection, the wireless doesn't work. I can get an IP address for it too, when both are enabled.

Go get the latest drivers, and the ACU client version 6.0.

It turned out to be a problem w/the WEP keys. Thanks for you help guys 🙂
