Default Connecting to the Internet

I have a problem to solve:
I have Windows XP, a Dell Inspiron 5315, a Linksys router - WRT160N-, and a
Lynksys Compact Wireless - G USB Adapter.

Here is the problem, when I set the WEP to enable, I try and connect to the
router, but then it asks for a user name and password. No idea what it is or
why it asks for that. It doen't ask for the WEP paraphrase, or key, when I
try to connect to it. This is on a desktop trying to connect to wireless.
I tried a laptop and connected enough to get to the internet. I then took
the WEP enabled off and it gets to the internet fine on the desktop.
Why is it asking for a username and password, or how do I connect? I have
never seen this before and I have set up a few wireless including my own.

Any help or direction would be great.
