Hi, Try double checking your encryption key. If memory serves, linksys numbers their keys 1 - 4, and in linux, the wep keys are numbered 0 - 3. I think it took me a week to realize this the first time I set up my wireless at home. I was using key "3" on the router, and should have been using "2" in linux.
This was causing the same symptoms as you describe, looks like you are connected, but really you are not. Are you using DHCP at home? What wireless card are you using?
