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?
