After replacing a faulty Belkin wireless router my HP laptop wont connect to
the router using any secure authentication (WEP or WPA) - but connects ok
using open authentication. Other PCs on the wireless network connect OK.

Any ideas please?

Hi
Set the security first on the Router, and copy the encryption Hex string to
the Wireless Client.

Thanks Jack - I tried that and also updating the notebook's Intel Pro
wireless adaptor driver but still no joy. Out of desperation I downloaded the
Intel wireless utility and used that instead of the Windows wireless manager.
It worked first time

So we will never know what the problem was.

thanks anyway
