Are you entering the key when the device prompts that it has found a new
network or where are you entering it? Also double check your key on your
PPC and make sure its entered in correctly since it sounds like the device
is connecting to the access point alright. Also I had recently upgraded the
firmware on my router and had to redo my WEP key. If i remember corectly I
was using a 128bit ASCII key in all caps and the PPC didnt like it, but my
laptop worked fine. Try taking any caps out of your key if you are using
ASCII.
