does having a WEP effect outlook

[dwildcats21]

trying to set up outlook on personal computer, have all the user information,
log in data, and the pop3 and smtp data but when finished setting up, and do
the test account settings, it fails. I am using a wireless router with WEP,
could this be affecting my set-up of outlook and causing it to fail? If this
is what is causing the problem, how do I get around it?

No. What does the error message say when the test fails?

Knowing the exact err.msg might assist, & version of OL
anything else is guesswork

Gordon,
I am using office XP, outlook 2002, the following are the error
messages I get.

Sounds to me if the server settings are either wrong, or your ISP's mail
servers are down....
What OS are you using?

Outlook 2002 is not compatible with Vista, but sometimes it will work. At
best, you'll be prompted constantly for your mailbox password, since Vista
doesn't store passwords the same way prior Windows versions did.

Make absolutely sure your server names, ports, and security options are
chosen correctly.

thanks,
I was worried about that, I have office 2003, will install that and see if
it works better.

Outlook 2002 is not supported on Vista, so you may well get errors which
can't be fixed....
