Hi

Still having problems, the desktop wont connect to the secure network
properly. When it has been set as secure from unsecure it just logs itself
in, (doesn't ask for the key like the laptops).

It has a dlink pci card fitted, could it be a problem with the card or
driver that is showing itself only when security is set?

thanks

Gary

There are many different kinds of security. All machines generally need to
share a common speed, and a common security type. You may just need to
discover all wireless networks, and pick your router from the list shown to
be able to set a password. But you'll need to know the type of security
being used WEP, WPA, WPA-2, etc.

The router can also be setup to reject all but some MAC address trying to
connect to it.
