Just built this new computer yesterday and my Wireless USB Adapter won't connect to the router downstairs on it. However it will connect to other networks in the neighborhood.

What confuses me is my old computer connects to the router just fine.

I tried connecting with the Windows network thing but it gave me this message.


Some diagnosis huh...

Are you sure you have the correct encryption key for the router? Are you SURE you haven't enabled MAC filtering, which would block the new computer having a different MAC address?
