Hi guys after some help, at the moment i have 2 desktop computers in the house. One of the computers is hard wired in and the other is on a wireless network. I have just bought a laptop with in built wireless, i can not connect to my existing network for some reason, the wireless connection is not encripted, any ideas??

I have taken the laptop to a couple of mates houses who have wireless and the laptop has worked perfectly at both locations.

Any help would be great thanks

What router are you using, Colin?

Its an asus WL-500G

I'm no expert, but the only thing that I can think of, is that you have to 'register' (how, I'm not sure - check the router's 'control/admin panel') the laptop's MAC address with the router (in 'Command Prompt'; "ipconfig/all" to find such), as that's what I do back home, which I believe, keeps the connection secure.

Will give that a try, thanks for your help

Fixed now, i did not know the router had to be turned off once the setting had been changed.
