    Hey all, Im currently at my grandparents house and my laptop is connected to their linksys BEFW11S4 wireless-b router. My parents are trying to connect their Vostro 1700 using Vista Home Premium. The Network is configured sp that you have to physically type in the SSID name to connect to the network. This works with my laptop which uses Windows XP MCE but is not working with the Vostro. The Vostro recognizes the network is there and even when we give it the SSID it wont connect, suggestions/solutions?

    Any help is appreciated!

    Happy Easter
