Default Hidden Network

Hey guys.

I have started to use my laptop (windows XP) for my school work more and more now, and I have started to take it into school.

But, my school runs a wireless network aswell as a LAN network, the only catch is, its hidden.

Now, I have the SSID, and the WEP key, and I have entered these in the add a network thing. (when you right click the wireless connection in network connections and click properties).

But still, I cannot seem to find the WLAN network. I know it is there because I have two mates who run vista laptops and they pick it up with no problems.
Thanks for any help.

Do you know if they have MAC (Media Access Control) Filtering enabled?
