have you got a wlan service paramater like this? (refresh if you can't see image)
just try change the ssid to something smaller and changing to wep to test can't hurt. no guarantees that this will help though.

just try to update your wlan drivers anyway, and you could always upgrade your router firmware (possibly having nothing to do with your problem).

if it's a factory built computer tell me the model number and i can help you find drivers. if you can't find, download CPU-Z and send me a print screen of the main board tab.

| Try switching to WEP and seeing if it works. If you have an older laptop, it might not be compatible with WPA.

thanks for the replies..
wpa.. wep.. and even no security didn't work... maybe it's an too old radio card... (1.5 years) or maybe the wrong channel but how do i see on what channel the laptop is ? and how to add a device manually in windows xp if i know the mac adress or network name?
