Linksys wireless problem

My Wireless Network Connection shows my network is available but it won't let
me connect. I can connect to my neighbors wireless network but not mine. It
doesn't say it is secured. Two other computers in my house use it perfectly
fine but my new laptop won't connect. Anyone know why?

We connected, settled for security WEP-64, after much messing, trying to
spec security WPA-Personal (also called WPA-PSK).

You don't say what kind of new laptop you have.

Many laptops have an on-off switch for the wireless radio (NOT the switch that
turns off the laptop itself). Check your documentation. If there is no physical
switch, check the "properties" for your wirelss connection for a setting to "turn
radio on/off".
