Trying to connect my new laptop to an existing ATT home wireless network. I got it to work at one point, but there was Oatmeal Stout involved and I don't remember how I did it.

Anybody?

Probably a network key issue.

What OS are you using?

delete the wireless profile on your laptop(s), then click to cinnect again.  Enter your network key and see if you connect.  Only without the oatmeal stout this time....

Affirmative. Windows 7 on the new laptop asks me to reset my router. I then have to reconfigure it on the vista laptop and reinput the network key. And still nothing.

You sure you're choosing all the right options for the network key(i.e. Wep vs. WPA, encryption and key index)?

No sweat. I may need help with beer later though, if you can do that now.

Affirmative. I may just try and bribe a HTF member with beer/ammo. I don't have the patience for it.
