IBM Laptop and Linksys Router

I have an IBM laptop from my office and a wireless network with a linksys
router at home. Suddenly the computer stopped connecting wirelessly to my
home network, but still connects wirelessly to other networks where I travel
for work.

My Apple laptop connects to my home network without any problem. Linksys
says that it is a problem with the computer, but why would it connect to
other networks in wireless mode.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Thanks, Norm

Hi
Usually it means that the configuration of the Laptop does not match any
more to the one of the Router.
Check the configuration and make sure that it matches.

If your computer is up to date IBM just released some new drivers, Access
Connections got updated as well as the wireless drivers, this can often
require you to re-enter the wireless network password. Chances are the
security level is different at work versus your home, that may explain why
you must re-enter the password at home and not at work.
