I need to configure my machines for extra security by
using WEP. The only problem is I'm new to this and need
help. My machines are connected by a linksys 4 port
wireless AP router. If I enable WEP on the XP machines,
does it automatically provide me with a parahparaze and
key for me? If not, what would I enter?

Is there anything I do with the router??
 
I would suggest these articles that discuss using WEP...(just do a word
search for "WEP")

Also, consult your owners manual /user's guide for your Linksys Wireless
Router for notes specific to that piece of hardware and setting it up. If
your wireless router is the BEFW11S4...

Some systems will generate a key for you. In any case, the keys must match
between the wireless AP and wireless clients.

Hope this is what you were searching for.
