Are there any other security for your wireless? Perhaps limiting MAC addresses or you need to open certain ports.

Like Charlie said, first check and make sure MAC address filtering is not in place for your WiFi router. You must also check and see if you are using DHCP on the router. In addition, if you are using NAT DHCP, then make sure your IP range on your router is wide enough.

If your router supports it, I would also recommend you to use WPA instead of WEP, it is easier to configure on the client side, and it is much more secure than WEP.

How do I check for all of that. Like the MAC address filtering, and what is DHCP also and the IP range.
