I got a couple of laptops that connect to the wireless router which is a DSE 802.11g Access Point XH8287 Running through a DSE ADSL Router UTP XH1169 I have had no problems with these two pieces of hardware until now and I don't believe the problem is in them. The desktop is wired direct to the router and the AP is wired to the router also the AP signal goes out and hits both laptops and sometimes another desktop depending on whats running. I think the problem is in the laptop thats not working cause the other connections are fine. I reset the AP to factory and redid all the settings on it and the computers, the others picked it up and connected easily but this laptop just won't. I ran the WinSockFix.exe on it but that didn't help, redid all the settings, again no help, I tired to delete it to redo the connection but it wouldn't let me do that. As far as I can tell its configured correctly (same as the others anyway) but just won't work, any idea what I could check/try next?	DeSade (984)
