Thanks to you both. I'm now connected.
My problem was that during the setup I was asked for the "WEP Key" and I
didn't know what that was. So I changed to an option that didn't require the
key (public/private - I don't know). Then in frustration I decided to google
for information on my Verizon DSL modem. Upon looking for complete
information I accessed a sticker on the bottom of the modem which I hadn't
seen because it required me to unplug everything. Once I saw that sticker,
it provided the WEP key. I entered that into the setup information and now
my computers are talking to each other.
Thanks for your help.
