Hi kash,

Sorry mate, been building my new desk so everything's been offline for a while.

What name does it give to the wireless network that it finds?

If you go into the router control panel what wireless network name has been assigned to the router? (Look for something that says SSID, or wireless network name.)

Are the two the same?

If they are it could be that the network that is being found is your own, and that the reason it won't let you access it is because you have set up the WEP but you haven't specified it within the USB devices connection properties.

Have a look and if that doesn't get you anywhere we can try something else (not sure what yet though

).

I'm prepared to be that the one it is finding is your home one.
