Hello,


One of my friends just bought a new HP laptop running the Windows Vista OS today and came over to my house to show me it. They came right over and connected right onto my wireless network with a linksys router which isn't encrypted at all. When they go home that night they can not reconnect to their network which uses a Netgear router and has encryption. So basically Before they came over they had no connection issues at all and after connecting to my network they can not connect to their network, everything is green strong signal and they can see their router but when they open up their web browser they get the page cannot be displayed message. They're the only one in the house that has this issue. Any help would be most appreciated!
