My problem is a bit strang i can't seem to get an ip networkmanager says 4 of 5 (connection timed out). but when i try to connected to an non secure ip i can get an ip. so I have narrowd the problem down to only i can't get an ip adres when connecting to a secure access point.

Are you _sure_ your WEP key is correct?  If the WEP key is incorrect,
then you won't be able to do DHCP.  Furthermore, there's no way to know
if your WEP key is wrong (unlike with WPA).
