Re: network

Are you trying to use a WEP key?

Set the wep key up in the router config (via the web browser) then save,

Then reboot the router.

Your laptop should find the router and when you click connect it should ask you to enter the WEP key .

it should now connect.

Re: network

No need for bold. It may be mis-intepreted as a moderating decision. I have reformmated the post.
