|  Encryption Issue
Question:I have Verizon DSL w/westell modem/router.When I enable WEP encryption my IP address Flashes normal for a second then goes to 169.254.77.204 I then have no LAN connections or internet service.
If I carry the Laptop to work it does the same thing.
Otherwise the LAN works fine,I do not have a clue why it is doing this.as I have tried everything I know to no avail.
Any thoughts on this?

Your encryption keys are not matching up.Make sure that you type in the keys exactly.

I have tried numerous keys,numerous times;several being almost impossible to screw up.all have the same effect.I
have tried the 26 hexadecimal,10 hexadecimal,5 passphrase.................
Even though I appear to still have the signal,after I enable encryption I cannot address the modem until I go back to the desktop and disable encryption.............thanks for responding
any other Ideas?I am sure it is something dumb I have'nt done right.

Did you try ASCII characters instead of hex?

Its all working now.Posting to help others maybe...............Turns out ;I enabled encryption on the router/modem,then on my laptop
Unplugged the router for 30 seconds,restarted the laptop;still did not work till I restarted the desktop.
Had previously tried restarting Laptop only................................
So if any anyone was Pirating my bandwidth ;which I suspect.........up His............................
