yep its all fine..someone suggested resetting the wirless adapter on my laptop so may try that

Thanks for that but I have done all that its the bit after I ve put in the WEP key it says connecting then doesnt really do anything

thanks but i dont think that really applies to my problem

Then what do i do with the MAC address?

Ok will do what is the MAC adress out of interest and could it be coincidence that two comps with vista on are having the same problem?

yeah have tripled checked the key have even changed it...and the router is orange livebox

Hiya i need some help... Basically i have a laptop with vista on and up until last week had wirless internet working perfectly through Orange Livebox then my mate updated the software and now it doesnt work!!. The weird thing is though his two other computers now all work but mine just refuses to connect. When you look for Networks it can see the box is there..I have put it in pairing mode while i connect and checked and double checked the WEP key and turned off all security but it tries to connect then just says Windows cannot connect to the box..it soo frustrating because it won't tell me why even when I do the repair function it just says try to connect again. Anyone got any ideas?? gratefully received!! p.s my mate upgraded the box with new software to make it quicker as i said his pc and laptop do work but mine and another housemate refuses to work and we are both vista so i think it MUST be a vista problem Thanks Dan
