WEP key prevents Outlook mail retrieval

[Sean]

Hi

I've got outlook 2000 running fine. I recently installed a wireless
router (Actiontec) and have got a wireless card for my notebook
(Belkin). Even more recently I added a WEP key to the wireless network
for added security. Ever since then, Outlook can't find the mail
servers (Pop / SMTP). I can't get any of my mail. But if I remove the
128-bit key, all is fine again.

Anyone know how I can secure the network and continue to use email?

Thanks
Sean

It's better you ask this in a newsgroup that handles (wireless) networking
or even contact Belkin for support. Since you mentioned that Outlook runs
fine when you remove the WEP key it doesn't indicate that Outlook is causing
the problem.
