What should I do once I set up a WEP 64-bit key?
Do I type the passphrase in the prompt box when I try to connect?
Or do I type 42.CD.5B...7A.4B?
Or is it 42.cd.5b...7a.4b?
Or is it 42cd5b...7a4b?

Erase it and make a 128-bit key. I believe something like 20 bits of the "key" are actually used to store static data, so the actual key length of a 64 bit key is around 44 -- my numbers might be off but its something like that. 44 bits can be cracked in a few minutes, while 108 bit might take take as long as an hour.
Once you've done that, when you connect to the network your computer will ask you for a key. Type the numbers/letters in your key (case insensitive, no punctuation) into the box and press "OK".
On windows you have to enter it twice (PITA). Hope this helps--
