if it's any consolation, you wouldn't have been able to play with me at all, since nowhere around me has that WEP connection I need. I could change the network settings here to make it WEP, but I don't want to compromise my parents net security.  Furthermore, they'd have to go through a whole bunch of tweaking on all their devices, something they balked at last time I did something. I'll figure out something. Cmpuncle has stated that making an ad-hoc network allowed him to get online. I'm not sure how that is, but it's worth a shot dude.
