network adapter won't accept WEP key

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.broadbandnet.hardware (More info?)

I had to install a new computer on my home network, but
cannot get past the WEP key during installation of
software. I have reinstalled the base station and got a
new WEP key, but it will not work either. The green light
on the unit is blinking - does not stay on. Base station
is connected to internet and works fine. Any help would
be greatly appreciated!

>OK - I think I understand - so the adapter should work
without installing the Networking software? I am running
XP SP2....I must have missed something though since the
green light just blinks and won't go solid. I hate to
sound dense, but I don't know a lot about this stuff!

Thanks for your help - again!
