    My zx5040us isn't connecting to my family's wireless router.It detects available wireless networks but it won't accept the password.There are two other systems,a Sony notebook and a Compaq desktop which connect fine.Any suggestions?

    PS I am running WinXP Service Pack 2 and the router is a Zyxel.

    Make sure your using the right password. Sometimes theres a few different "passwords". As I learned this a few days ago. I was using the password that I had created instead of the correct security key that is determined by the router.
