Are you running Vista on the laptop? If so, did it recently update the drivers for the wireless card. If so, try rolling back the driver to a previous one... See if that works.

You can also try checking you network connect settings...

Then why you complaining? Keep using the neighbors, lol! J/k

Did you completely disconnect from their network, and then try connecting to yours? And are you sure that the router has enough addresses avalible for connection?

I have tried disconnecting completely and no luck. Nothing else is on and connected to the router atm. So i dont see how it is out of addresses.

When a router is set up through the adminstrative access, you can set how many users can be connected to it (addresses)...

As for it not connecting to your router, I'm outta idea. I sincerely apologize, but I think your down to trial and error. Just keep messing around with it and eventually you might get it right...

Sorry. =(
