Old HP Notebook wireless connection fails with Rangemax Router
I upgraded to a Netgear Rangemax wpn824 My new HP running vista connected w/o any issues but I have to repair the network occasionally. I can't get my old HP running the standard XP wireless software to connect. I have deleted connection and re-established it, I have retyped with and w/o caps in Code I am Using WPA2...and it shows up wpa-psk...I assumed that was right...but standard wpa doesn't work. The strangest part is that the router will show up in system tray and I can log into it...just get a not connected..if I type the key incorrectly it shows as that the key doesn't match.
Ideas?

I am going to give you all the points...because you jogged my brain...I just deleted. restarted and reloaded...all is back to normal...I hate these these things sometimes...wep is the least safe of the encryption's..correct? Just to fix the typo...sorry
Thanks. Yessir wifi is a shifty thing. I don't know how regular moms and dads manage to get it working without help. Even I get stuck for hours on seemingly simple things like that sometimes.
Yep, security goes in the order I wrote, from least to best: WEP, WPA, WPA2.
