Wireless Issues
Just a few notes before I launch into my problem:
I am running Windows Vista Home Edition My laptop is a Compaq Presario V6000 I am using the WLAN Broadcom 802.11b/g card I seem to have issues with my wireless. I seem to be able to connect fine to other networks such as my college network and library, but have been unable to connect to my home wireless network. I have the SSID and Password written down correctly too and the other laptops running on Windows XP have been able to connect just fine. I have contacted the folks at HP and talked with them about this and have not been able to get it fixed, even after uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers as well as looking at the IPv6. I hope I was clear enough there. Can anyone help me out here?

What do you mean by security?
If you're talking about antivirus, I am running Norton Protection Center. I don't think the security is an issue though because I am perfectly able to connect to my neighbor's WiFi as well as my college's WiFi without having to go through security checkpoints of any sort.
