My friend's Amilo running Vista Home Premium refuses to connect to his new router's wireless network. My Dell, sitting next to his, connects immediately, and his Amilo &nbsp;connects to my wireless network at home with no problems.<br />
<br />
Vista simply says 'Cannot connect to SAGEM123 network'.<br />
<br />
I've tried turning off encryption but it still refuses to connect.<br />
<br />
(I have a feeling that I've seen a similar problem and it came down to an invalid passkey being entered initially and then despite re-entering it when prompted, for some reason Vista never overwrote the incorrect key).<br />
<br />
Any ideas please!!<br />

Fujitsu Amilo , Vista HP, won't connect to wireless network.

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
