Wireless network dropping

I have a Windows 2000 machine that I installed a second (Tenda) network card in to make a wireless network. It has been working for over a year with my laptop (Linux Ubuntu). Recently I got a second laptop (Windows XP) and the wireless network also works well on this.

However when I try to use both laptops at the same time, the wireless network only works for a minute or 2 then drops one or both connections. I've search the net and the Tenda software for options relating to multiple connections but can't find anything that seems relevant. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Quick update - I just noticed it only drops a connection when the WEP security is enabled. With an open connection both laptops work. This is not ideal, obviously. I have the latest firmare - Tenda TWL541C(P)

3.0.0.54.
