Problem connecting to wireless routerClosed

Question

Hello, 

My laptop connects to other wireless networks without a problem, but there is a new router at my house (I don't know the brand or whether it's using a/b/g, but it's encoded with WEP and I do have the password), and my laptop won't connect for whatever reason.  

My wireless adapter is an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG.  Things I have tried so far include rebooting, re-typing the password, repairing the connection, disabling and re-enabling the connection, and updating my drivers.  I know the problem is not in the router, because my desktop with a wireless adapter connects just fine.  

When I look at the properties of my laptop's adapter, it says "The channel selection for an ad hoc 802.11a adapter is disabled."  Could this be the problem I'm having?

Configuration: Toshiba Satellite R25-S3503, Windows XP Tablet Edition / Firefox 3.0.19

Upon further inspection, the new router is using 802.11g, so the inability to choose 802.11a should not be affecting the connection...
