Infinity good, PC bad (Solved)

[mgdavid]

I had my upgrade to Infinity 2 today :-) and a new BT Home Hub3 to go with it. The work Laptop and my wife's laptop connected up straight away with just the new SSID & WEP key. However my own PC isn't playing ball; it's an old Dell running XP Home with a USB2 802.11g external wireless adapter, and is saying it cannot see the new wireless hub. Running the BT setup CD says the same. The home PC is sat right next to the work laptop in a downstairs study, the Hub is upstairs with the master socket as we have an overhead wire BT feed. It's about 12 feet up through the ceiling as a direct path. Anyone any ideas, before I try buying a new wireless adapter?

this is sorted now (it was a mismatch in authentication / encryption, reconfigured to use WPA not WEP and straight in...).
