hi i have a wireless router set up which is connected with a wire to my PC.
my brother has just brought a brand new laptop. he has full signal to the
network however he cannot connect to it. i have turned off all the security
encriptions and what not but it still says "cannot connect" ive tried
everything i can think of but still nothing. but not nothing connects to it
except the mentioned wired PC. ive tried a nintendo DS and a sony PSP bt they
get the same error... any ideas is greatly appreciated.

Do you have the security enabled on the router? You might try logging into
the router and checking the settings and make sure they are all correct.

What about the "SSID broadcast?" Do you have it enabled or disabled? I would
enable it for the time being anyway. See if that helps. I had a bit of a
problem in this area when I first got my Vista machine, but when I enabled
the SSID broadcast it helped.

try a factory reset on the router. you'll have to set up wireless
security again, etc.
