Can connect to router but not internet!

Question

Hello All,I'm new to this group and could use some help.  I have a Linksys WRK54Gver1.1.  I have been using a WPA-PSK encryption with no problem.Unfortunately, I recently switched it to a 128-bit WEP because mywife's computer only seems to support it.  Now I can connect to therouter but can't get on the internet.  When I check the connectiondetails it detects: Physical Address, IP Address, and Subnet Mask.  Itdoesn't detect: Default Gateway, DNS Server, and WINS Server.Any suggestions as to how I can fix this would be much appreciated.Thanks!

"TedinToronto"  hath wroth:Use the 26 character Hex WEP key instead of the 13 character ASCII WEPkey.  There are problems translating from ASCII to Hex on some units.Hex always works.

"TedinToronto"  hath wroth:Yes, something like that.  Hex is 0-9 and A thru F only.  The Hex keymust be exactly 10 characters long for WEP64, or 26 characters longfor WEP128.  If you're using 5 characters or 13 characters, it'sreally ASCII, not WEP.
