    Hi, today I installed Windows Xp on my VGN-NR11S.

    I CAN connect to the other wireless connections but not my own.

    I get a message similar to this: Couldn't connect to network. Maybe the network can't be reached.

    Any suggestions, please

    Is your wireless network configured to for WPA2? XP's Zero Config Wireless Utility may not have the hotfix to connect to it.

    I know it was a problem on my HP.

    Check and see if you already have this hotfix installed.

    If you're set to WPA2, of course.

    you sure you got the right driver? when i bought the NR310 for my gf, I experienced a hard time to find the right driver. You might wanna make sure the driver is right and is installed correctly. I tried 3 different drivers before I got to the right one. Let me see whether I can find it for you...in the mean time try esupport.sony.com

    I think you need the Alps driver for that (assuming your touchpad is Alps and not Synaptics).
