Right

Currently got a BT voyager 2100 router which connects to my dell inspiron 6000 wirelessly no problem.

Got a second laptop for girlfriend Advent 7106, if i go to view wireless networks i can find my network.

I click connect, it says connecting to wireless network then nothing happens, i cant connect!!!

Very frustrating

I think the New Advent has a intel 2200 card although i dont really know what this means, i believe it is the same card thats in the dell anyway!

Oh if i try the new laptop via a wired connection to router it is fine, it is the wireless thats the problem

Make sure both Cards are connecting using the same standard as the Router (wifi stand eg, 802.11g)

Hello,

Could it be a security setting? Are you using MAC filtering? Do you have the correct WEP or WPA passphrase? Have you tried disabling all wireless security (only as a test, not permanently

? Have you tried giving the laptop a static IP address?

Just a few thoughts based on m,y past experiences with similar problems.

Thanks,

Jimmy

A lot of times one adapter has no problem with security encryption like TKIP and another doesn't work with it. try changing the encryption on the router and laptops.
