[QUOTE="tkim, post: 710023, member: 62802"] First, it's never a good idea to leave your wireless unsecured. It allows people in your general vicinity to piggyback your router, thus compromising your network security and bogs it down among other things. It's a good idea to password protect it. When you re-enabled the WEP, I'm assuming you logged into the router? 192.168.1.1 in the url? When you re-enabled WEP it should give you random generated password. That's the password you need to connect wirelessly. Even though you connected to the wireless router doesn't mean you are authenticated on the network so it may just be that you don't have the right password. I would go back and look to see if a random generated WEP key was created. [/QUOTE]
