Have you checked with an unencrypted network to see if it works there? Perhaps simply reconfiguring the adapter will do the trick. First step is to connect using a cable and make sure that basic networking works. Then, disable encryption on the router and see if you can connect that way.

Why can't you use a cable on the laptop? What make/model is the machine?

i cant use a cable because it is an older accer laptop with a built in dial up

With encryption disabled on the router, what indications do you get in the wireless connection? You also didn't mention the version/patch level of Windows in use on the machine. Are you using the Belkin wireless client, or Windows Zero Configuration client?
