maybe it doesn't support WEP like yours does.

to my knowledge all belkins support WEP check out this link see if any help http://belkin.httpsvc.vitalstreamcdn.co ... etwork.pdf

love the fact that on the 2nd page they started to tell people that WEP aint the best security feature though

All routers/Wi-Fi shoudl support WEP.

Are you sure you're not using WPA/WPA2 for security?

Just remove the settings, let it find it and enter the code when needed. (type it in, not copy and paste, just to make sure)

Other than that more inof about the computer would be needed.
