Did you use the same WEP key in the router and the wireless adapter?
Often times the easiest way to troubleshoot wireless is to take off all
options like WEP
and enabled SSID broadcast until you get it working, then re-enable
security one setting at a time.
Disabling encryption while troubleshooting is good advice, but an SSID is
not a "security setting".
You should always broadcast an SSID. Disabling SSID broadcast does nothing
in terms of security. Windows "Zero Config" may not see a disabled SSID,
but even most third party clients do.
Plus, broadcasting with a disabled SSID is considere to be rude RFI.
There is absolutetly nothing to gain by disabling SSID broadcast.
The OP needs to simply re-enable encryption (WPA, not WEP) once it is
talking...
