can't connect to friends linksys

Ok- so here's the problem.
I have a thinkpad T60. and my friend who lives above me has a linksys
w/no key. I have a 4 bar excellent signal.. when I try to connect.. it
has the red x thru the computer on the right hand side in the bottom and
says "not connected" yet.. for a few minutes will let me sign onto AIM..
then kicks me off. I brought my moms Lenevo laptop over.. and she can
connect with no problem. When I bring my laptop over to my parents house
or any other persons house w/linksys/or any other router I have no
problem connecting.. I cannot figure out what can possibly be wrong..
I've been racking my brain for 3 days.. please help!!

Do you connect when in the abode of your "friend"?
Are you connected properly when you sign into AIM?
What does "kicks me off" mean exactly?

Possible causes:
* Wireless (radio) interference
* Internal antenna disconnected

See the wiki below for more info.
