Are you trying to talk to an Access Point? Did you set up the wireless
cards with WEP? What brand of wireless card is it, what brand of access
point?

Some companies allow you to use a passphrase to generate a WEP key. In a
lot of instances, XP will not take the passphrase, and the WEP key must be
manually typed in.

Take pieces out of the equation. Disable WEP for the moment. just use the
SSID. does this work. add WEP back in etc.
