I am trying to connect to a wireless conection on a windows 7 laptop, i see the network and hit connect but it does not ask for PW, also i can connect to other wireless connections.
How do i get it to prompt for password

After you click connect, does it actually give you internet access?  Also, who owns the device that is supplying the connection?

If you get internet access and you own the device, then we just need to add security to it so it will prompt for a password.  If you get interent and dont' own the device, there is nothing you can really do.

If you don't get internet and you don't own the device, then that could be something like MAC address filtering where it determines whether or not you get access by a code in your wireless card.

If you don't get internet and you own the device, then we have to do some troubleshooting.  I would start with just a reboot of the router.  From there you would want to verify your settings on the router itself.
