network connection problems

[Dayexday]

Hi,
I run windows vista home premium.
I have a desktop, and laptop and both were connected wirelessly to a
linksys BEFW11S4 router which connects via ethernet cable to a westell
wirespeed B90-210015-04.

The router and the modem are both old, from perhaps 3 years ago.

I was able to connect fine to the internet for a long time. THe
connection was unsecure so I thought that I should make it secure. I
did, set the WEP encryption, and now its a secure connection... that
doesnt connect to the internet. Both computers list the connection as
a local connection.

So everything worked yesterday until I stupidly decided to mess around
with it and now its only local. I tried going back but now even when
its unsecured, the connection is still local.

Any help? Please?

You might want to double check to ensure that you actually have disabled encryption at your wireless access point/router.
