Netgear WGR614 wireless router and XP - connection exists but no data transfer

Hi,

I'm having a problem with a computer connecting to my wireless router. The router is Netgear WGR614. The computer has Windows XP. So I enable the access point, assign a unique SSID, enable 128bit WEP, and enter the key that I automatically generated via the computer I'm trying to connect.

Sure enough, Windows XP sees the network and connects to it. The link status is "Connected". However I only see outgoing data transfer on the link. It can't receive anything.

I can't ping the router and even the router "Connected device table" doesn't list the computer on the network. Anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this?

Thanks! L
