Toshiba laptop won't connect

I am trying to troubleshoot my friends laptop.  His hard drive crashed and
was replaced, but since then he couldn't connect to his linksys wireless
network.  I brought the computer to my house and was able to connect to my
Buffalo Technologies router without incident.  Thinking the router was the
issue I went to his house with my laptop.  My Dell connected without any
problems.  The Toshiba would connect without any security and when the
security was adjusted it would connect but after rebooting would not connect
again.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi
First make sure that it works for a while without security.
I.e., Reboot few times, use the Internet, etc.  If it works well, then
switch On security, put in a new password, and use copy and paste to put the
same password in the Computer.

The laptop has worked on the unsecured network and was rebooted several
times.  The laptop is also running Windows Vista.

as  yet  but  see  Jack's  response  to  my  earlier  post it  might apply
to  your  situation.
