Check your router to make sure it allows connection.
I have my router set up to accept only specific MAC addresses along with
WEP128 encryption (my wife's laptop does not support WPA).

Additionally, you may possibly need to use NDISWRAPPER. There is a complete
description on how to install NDISWRAPPER in these archives (either June or
July).
