Can't connect to router, debian

Hi, I need some help.
I installed debian and could connect to the wlan correctly, I then reinstall debian (hope I don't have to explain why, not relevant) but before that I set a WEP-password and MAC-filter for our WLAN connection, debian is intalled correctly but I can't connect to the router. Please help
 
Could it be your MAC-filter? What is the make and model? It might have a reset button which you can reset to default settings and then start a fresh

Also, [ot] can't you use WAP? Seems you are concerned with filtering MAC addresses but content with lower wireless security ;)[/ot]
Just a thought...

Uh, I think he just wants to get online with wifi.

What kind of wireless card do you have? If in doubt, run
Code: 
lspci
and post the results here.

yes, i presumed that too but has he tried setting up WiFi from a desktop box or can't he access the router from anywhere ?

BTW: thankies AT, for prompting me to clarify my input to the prob :beer:
 
Correct, I'm trying to access the router so that I can connect to our wireless home network and get online.
I'm trying to do this with an "Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection" and the router is a "SAMSUNG Gigaset SE551 WLAN/dsl".
 
Well no, I didn't 'cause I'm laisy and stupid.
However, I don't think the router is the problem as I'm now connected to another network but still not getting any access to the internet. This is a school network and I seem to be the only one having this problem. It also has a WEP-key and a MAC-filter, I've entered the WEP-key and my MAC-address is registred.
I've tried a bit myself though, this is what I've discovered: If I enter Network Settings and enable the wireless connection to my school network, the next time I enter Network Settings the wireless connection is unabled - It seems as though my settings are not saved.
 
You've lost me there a bit. So you are connecting to the school network via your router? Or you are picking up a wireless signal from your school network?

When I first created this thread I was at home. Now, as school has began, I have moved down to an area by the school and can only access the school network, hence the problem probably lies in my computer since I can't get internet here either (every one else who uses this network can).

NOTE: I am getting a signal from the school's router, it appears in the list of avaliable networks.
 
So:
There is something wrong with
(Fujitsu Siemens S7010D)+(Debian Lenny)+(Protected Network)
but of course there's the possebility that the cause of the problem lies in the addition of mip0.
I need help. I need Internet on my computer.
