Network/wireless protection query

I have a network setup with a desktop and a laptop. The router is a Netgear
DG834 with Win XP. This works fine but when I enable WEP protection, the
desktop (LAN connection) works but the laptop (on wi-fi) doesn't. What am I
doing wrong, or not doing perhaps,?

Regards and thanks in advance

You have set the same encryption key in that laptop wifi ? ...reset the
wifi profile in the laptop ?
