I've given my old pc to a kid whose parents couldnt afford it. They have internet connection as part of their apt. lease and now that they have a computer im setting it up.
The cable modem box works fine, the router works fine.. if I connect the router to the pc directly via cable it works fine... but I need to have a wireless set up so that the pc can be in the room they need it to be not in the living room.
thing is, my laptop connects to it wireless perfectly.. but the desktop for some reason detects the network but will not connect to it.
im positive im typing the same network key.. but it still wont connect.
what settings should I be tinkering with on the desktop?
or could it be the router and the adapter are incompatible? (router: netgear, usb wireless adapter=belkin)
