Another New IPod Touch Owner with Wi-fi Problems

Another New IPod Touch Owner with Wi-fi Problems.

I have been working at this for about 4 hours now with no success and I am getting pretty frustrated, so if it show up in my typing please ignore it. I just don't understand why these multi-million dollar companies can't write a manual or put up a web site that can actually help someone with a problem.

Ok, venting aside.

I am running a gateway computer.
Operating System = XP
Router = Linksys WRT54G
I have two other computers that are working fine with the existing wireless net work and have been for some time.

I'm pretty good with my computer but haven't touched my router since initial set-up and all that was done was a basic set up.

My I-pod is searching for a network and I'm three feet away from it but it doesn't find it.

I printed out my wireless setting. I presume SSID name equals the name box on the ipod-touch

Security = WEP

What seems to be kicking my *** is the password. The route setting have never been changed so I would pesume the password should be the default "admin" which I put in (JOIN) and get the "Could not find network" screen

So, I have perused this message board trying to discover and answer to mine, and and apparently many others question with no definitive results.

So I guess what I and everybody else needs is a step by step how to guide on how to discover the info needed and enter in what we need to make this work.

Thanks in advance to anybody that can actually help with this issue. A step by step do this would be nice.
