are you running xp sp2? and is the router configured with a wpa2 key?

If so, theres a patch from MS you need to install on XP to allow it to use wpa2. Found that out the hard way with the wireless on my lappy at home. If it is, let me know and i'll try to dig out the patch link.

Edit: This should be it.

 

at work at the moment will check when i get in about 6pm hope your about later.
i am running xp but need to check the other stats

 

Note that KB 893357 seems to have been replaced by KB 917021.

This is a patch that I wasn't previously aware of - so thanks for the link anyway!

Harry.

 

Ah yes, that looks like the page i used when i was downloading the patch (linky).

 

Would you believe it got home turned the pc on and it asked for the password and now its working.

 

Well at least it's working now!

I'd be interested to know what speed and package you on?? Is it similiar to vodaphone usb broadband?
