[johnwill]

Well, what do you mean "it connects to it fine"? Can you access the router's setup pages using that connection? How about doing this?

For 98 or ME, Start, Run, COMMAND to open a DOS window:
--- or ---
For 2K or XP, Start, Run, CMD to open a DOS window:

Type the following command:

IPCONFIG /ALL

Right click in the command window and choose Select All, then hit Enter.
Paste the results in a message here.

C:\Documents and Settings\Michael>IPCONFIG / ALL

Error: unrecongnized or incomplete command line.

where
adapter Connection name
(wildcard characters * and ? allowed, see examples)

/all Display full configuration information.
/release Release the IP address for the specified adapter.
/renew Renew the IP address for the specified adapter.
/flushdns Purges the DNS Resolver cache.
/registerdns Refreshes all DHCP leases and re-registers DNS names
/displaydns Display the contents of the DNS Resolver Cache.
/showclassid Displays all the dhcp class IDs allowed for adapter.
/setclassid Modifies the dhcp class id.

The default is to display only the IP address, subnet mask and

> ipconfig /all ... Show detailed information
> ipconfig /renew ... renew all adapters
> ipconfig /renew EL* ... renew any connection that has its
name starting with EL
> ipconfig /release *Con* ... release all matching connections,

"Local Area Connection 2"

[johnwill]

There's no space between / and ALL on the IPCONFIG line. Try that one again.

Turn off encryption and see if you can connect. If so, you have a problem with the encryption settings. Make sure you do NOT use 802.1x Authentication on the WPA connection.

[pinoyplaya]

how do you turn off encryption?

[johnwill]

It's in the router's configuration. Your router's configuration pages are accessed using the IP address of 192.168.0.1. Look for wireless configuration pages, encryption will be there.
