    I just got my e1705 and i was having alittle trouble setting up the wireless connection. It was able to connect to my WRT54G router when the connection was not secure. When i added the wep protection on it, my laptop would no longer be able to connect to the router. I entered the correct ssid along with the key in the wireless network tab, but it still has trouble connecting. It always gets stuck at connecting to network. Any suggestions?

    what are you using to connect to your router? Is it the Intel/Dell software or the XP utility?
