Wireless Connection
I have several computers in my home running XP and was very easily connect to
a CISCO wireless router with a WPA-PSK TKIP connection. I know the network name and passcode. I have been unable to get my wife's new Vista Professional laptop (Gateway) to connect to this wireless network though. I have been searching all forums with no luck. I am a rookie at this so easily understandable instructions would be appreciated.

Wireless Connection
Hi
Did you make sure that the Wireless is On (many Laptops have a physical switch) and actually working. Look at the Control Panel/Device Manger, and see if there is active Wireless Card. This is a screen shot from XP Vista looks nuc3er but the info is similar, http://www.ezlan.net/example/dm_ok.jpg Jack (MVP-Networking). "markhk" wrote in message ...
