As PoW states, can you connect to a local SlimServer? SqueezeNetwork is nothing more than a modified SlimServer running on the Internet. It doesn't care about WEP or any other local networking configuration - that is between your Squeezebox and your router.
However there is one extra step that SqueezeNetwork access requires - DNS resolution. That's why if you're using a static IP address, your Squeezebox asks you for the IP address of your DNS server. If you can't access your DNS server, SqueezeNetwork access will fail. If you can't access your DNS server, there are three causes: 1. No connectivity in general, in which case you wouldn't be able to access SlimServer either. 2. Improper DNS server specified in setup. 3. Overloaded/laggy DNS server. I have this problem frequently. Usually if SqueezeNetwork connection fails on the first try, the second try will work though. It sounds like your problem is related to no connectivity. Double, triple and quadruple-check your WEP password. It only needs to be off by one character to not work at all. The Squeezebox UI makes it easy to accidentally insert leading or trailing spaces - press the PLAY button to delete them. And finally, there are just some routers that won't work. Check here: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.cgi?RouterStatus Wireless networking technology is still immature. Manufacturers only loosely follow standards and make frequent changes. It's unfair to blame Slim Devices - they are using a wireless card made by one of the "big guys" - Atheros - see http://www.slimdevices.com/photos/inside_squeezebox2/ Atheros chipsets are used widely by NETGEAR and HP, for example, although this is old information and I believe D-Link has used them from time to time.
