I currently use a PC and Mac on my wireless network. The Mac is
working fine however the PC cannot find the network all it can find is
a network with a blank name however the network is named and the Mac
can find it without any problems. The wireless network was set up from
the PC and strangely it stopped working after a windows update. The
router is a belkin adsl router and I am using a belkin usb network
adaptor for my pc.


Does anyone know why it has stopped ?

I'd guess USB drivers. I've never had good luck with USB WiFi
dongles, but at the very least you should update the drivers.

Does it work if plugged into a wired network port on the router?

phone sockets and then it work when I resetted the router !
