I am having problems connecting to my home wireless network

I am having problems connecting to my home wireless network with 128 Bit WEP Key. The Network card in the T42 Laptop is an Intel® PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Adapter.

The failure infomation from Think Vantage Access Connections indicates.....
"The current driver or protocol for the wireless adapter is incorrectly installed or configured. Reinstall the wireless driver in accordance with the driver setup instructions."
When I hit the button that says help me fix this.

I have tried several things so far..
1) I have installed the latest Driver for the Intel Wireless Adapter (No Help)
2) I have tried to update the Firmware on the Linksys Router model BEFW11S4 V3.0 (No Help)
3) If I turn security off (The WEP Key) from my Linksys Router model BEFW11S4 V3.0 it works fine, but I don't want to turn off security.
4) If I switch to a 64Bit WEP Key it still Fails.

This New Think PAD was recently purchased as a Certified USED Laptop, The T42 MTM is 2373-YCP
