I thought the $ was only for older versions of Airport/OSX?

I haven't had chance to see if it works with other networks yet. When I googled it other people had been having problems with my router too, so maybe its that :(

EDIT:

I thought I'd tried the millions of permitations, but actually using the Network Settings > Assist me worked :! I needed to use the $ infront of the 128-bit WEP password.

Lets see how long this lasts :|

I always used to have issues with WEP because it kept asking for a password when I needed to give it a key, but I got around that. No idea why it's not working without encryption, though. Will it work on any other wireless networks?

EDIT: On second glance, it looks like I've completely misread your problem; sorry!

I've been attempting to get my MacBook working with my non-Airport wireless router and I've had zilch success. Well, I've had it working once and I have no idea how? :boggle:

I know there's issues with WPA and Mac's but its not working even without encryption.

Any ideas? :look:
