Gentleman all:

I have been reading the "Is there such a device?" thread since Jim S.'s
first post a month ago in hopes of picking up enough information about
router architecture to help me successfully connect my TP42 P to routers
using encryption when booted to either RC3 or RC5.  I would rather work
these thing out my self and not have to ask the dumb question if at all
possible.

While the "such a device" discussion was a mile wide and my
understanding of it perhaps an inch deep, if that, I found it
interesting and did pick up some hints.   In the hope that the problem
is something simple I am missing or that a small change to the DHCP
configuration file will solve the problem here it goes.

First, I can connect freely to all open routers in hot spots throughout
the country without any problem.  That said, I am often at locations
where routers are encrypted and the owners give me the WEP password to
permit me to connect.  The routers are usually various models of NETGEAR
or Linksys.

Although I think I have used every possible variation offered by the
Wireless LAN Monitor v. 3.10 I have never succeeded in getting a WEP
connection.  The passwords are usually ten number/letter combinations
which I deduce are for 64 bit encryption.  The passwords work in XP when
I boot to it and in the i-phone with no problem.

One variation will get me an IP to the LAN in Ecs but not any traffic
over the WAN - internet.  If I set up a profile for the location and
specify an IP  (select "manually" rather than DHCP on the TCP/IP tab)
the router then gives me that IP, but I can not then transfer any data
to the internet, although I can get to the router setup page and other
locations inside the LAN.

Can anyone shine a light on what I am doing wrong?
