D-Link DSL-G624M security problem

Hello,

I am a newbie here and please need advice on this problem

D-Link DSL-G624M router
2 desktops with D-Link DWL-G520m adapters - 1 winxp home sp3 (this is the 'mother ship'), 1 win 2000
1 laptop Acer win prof sp2
1 Pure Evoke Flow internet radio

This system has been working fine without a network security code
Yesterday I put 1 on
I put the code on thro the mothership, the 2nd desktop asked for the code and works fine
The Acer laptop showed my secure network, asked for the code but could not connect
Same with the radio - it picked up the network but the modem would not accept the code
So the 2 with the d-link cards are fine and the 2 without aren't
I took off the password this am just to prove that it was a code problem and sure enough I could get access to the unsecured network from all 4
On the D-Link wireless setup I have
wireless radio enabled
ssid with the name of my network
channel 11
ssid hidden disabled
superg as b+g compatible
Security wep
wep 64bit hex
the numbers and letters are a-f and 1-99

Wireless networks are not exactly my strong point - could anyone please advise what I am doing wrong please?

thanks
