I decided to use the mac address filtering feature of the router instead
of a WEP. I couldn't get WEP or WAP to work for nothing. First you need
to install a tool that handles WEP or WPA (wpa-assistant) then pray it
works. I finally gave up and just used physical filtering ... which has
done a perfect job of keeping my network ... well ... my network.
