I'm not very familiar with Vista (use XP), an am trying to set up my father's laptop to connect wirelessly to their router. The router is working fine, because I am connecting with no problem on my own laptop. Also, the Vista laptop is recognising the router as one of the available wireless networks. However, it will not connect. I have put in the right security code, it is showing adequate signal strength, but will not connect. I have tried turning off the security on the outer - still no luck. Can anyone suggest anything?

Thanks

If you set up wireless access in XP, you already know the fundamentals, but Vista has changed some of them and a lot of the screens are different.

Perhaps the guide in the link below can help:
