...I recently just bought an MSITurbo G PCI wireless adapter for my computer. I installed the software, clicked connect and typed in my WEP code, and I couldn't connect to my wireless network. It's not having difficulty finding the network, just aquiring the address, and when I click repair using the Microsoft program it say that it could not complete the renewal of my IP address. What does this mean and what exactly do I need to do in order to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Now, your case may be different, but on my wireless setup, if I configure the Router to use WEP and go and set all my adapters to use WEP, I don't have any success at all. If I go WPA, it works perfectly. WEP doesn't work well for my setup, it could be the same with yours. Configure your setup to use WPA and see if that makes any different.
 
Yeah, for troubleshooting purposes, eliminate everything you don't need, especially anything security related. Then add it in one-by-one until you find the problem.

WEP is rubbish anyway - if you can use WPA, definitely go for it, WEP is just kind of meh...
