Acer 5100 Wireless Connection Problem

We just bought a Aspire 5100 a few months ago and have not been able to connect to the wireless network at the house. when you try to connect it says connection unsuccessful and when I go into the network and sharing center on the computer it says limited connectivity. but the other wirless computers and devices are working fine the wireless router is a Linksys

 

provide us few more details

type of router?

model ? firmware?

security on router?

vista or xp ?

wireless card in laptop ? i asume it broadcom

 

linksys WRT54GS V. 5
WEP Key security on network
Desktop router connected to is running XP
Notebook running vista
Other wireless desktop running xp
it looks like its getting stuck when it tries to find the IP address

 

do you have lasted firmware for you wrt54g?


try remove you wireless key see if it encrytion error do have anything like mac flitering turn on ?

maybe try switch to wpa-psk it alot more secure

you wireless card will need to both support it mind ya your need xp patch for wpa2
