My brother just recently bought a laptop a vostro 1500 from dell with windows xp sp2, but it is having issues connecting to the wireless router (netgear wgr614 v4) i have a WPA PSK TKIP setup and all 3 computers can connect fine to it but this laptop and his previous one (it could connect to the net until he reinstalled windows on it) could not connect. i checked the passphrase its fine, the ip is setup so i have to enter it. I have tried removing the WPA key and when i do it connects fine but with the key it doesnt. the laptop has a dell wireless 1395 wlan mini-card. when i try to connect it stays at the waiting for netowork and then just closes. help plz
