If it's not, be aware that you are running an obsolete protocol. WPA2 is the minimum you need to be secure. The security provided by running WEP is like leaving your front door wide open.

Re: connecting to the internet
Have uninstalled and reinstalled unbuntu - it seems that the network manager is installed & I am running Gnome. Have gone through all the network connecting stuff in the email & network connections - it's an ether wireless connection - but it's still not connecting to the internet. Any other ideas? It doesn't have any windows connections does it?

Re: connecting to the internet
Exactly Dale - it seems I don't have Network manager installed. I installed from the CD so whatever is on there is the one I am running. Thank you.

To me it sounds like you don't have Network manager installed if you can't find it, as it should show up on the panel. Are you running Gnome or KDE desktop environment?
