   I wouldn't be surprised if the more modern phone doesn't     
   support WEP anyway.

   Try to see if a connection *can* be made. A few seconds of     
   connection time isn't to crack open your pc to anyone over the     
   airwaves. Wifi from a laptop or phone isn't going to a have a     
   very large range.   
      
   Or.. perhaps better yet, try a Bluetooth linkup (I think that's     
   referred to as "tethering" on the phones). The range for that     
   is much shorter and probably much more secure than a WEP wifi.   
      
   What kind of community do you live in? Are there a lot of other     
   people operating wifi-based systems?
