HELP, connecting 2nd computer

[steve175]

Hi guys,

I need some help, i set up a desktop computer to a netgear wireless router, using a wirless USB adapter and it works fine.

Now i want to join that network with my laptop, and i can find it alright with my laptop, click to connect and enter the WPA password but then it doesnt connect.

Can anyone help me?

Cheers

IT WORKS! I have no cables in my laptop. But i have no idea how cos my little wireless icon still says disconnected? Lol Im confused but happy

is the wireless device being managed by another program, that might make windows think it's disconnected because another program is handeling it.

windows still knows once it's finally connected

the computer probably just has more than one networking adapter, and the disconnected icon in the tray is for the other one

Go Start->Connect to->Show all connections, and then you can see all your connections.

do you have more then one wireless card on the laptop?
