Hi everybody.

I have a linksys WRT54G2 router that i recently bought. and i have this old laptop its from around 2004 if i remmebr right. its a sony vaio VGN-A130B, and im running windows xp professional vrsion 2002 service pack 1.

now the problem is i see all availbele wireless networks including my own, but when i choose mine and enter the network key (i believee its the network secturity key) and click connect nothing happens, it does not connect but it doesnt give me a message saying couldnt connect either....what should i do?

i was searching the internet and there was something about putting a service pack 2??? sorry guys im pretty new to this stuff please help me out.

do i have to configure my router or something? do i have to install some software on my laptop?

Service Pack 2 overhauled the entire wireless aspect of Windows XP to a point where its far better to use than it ever was before.
Service Pack 3 superseded Service Pack 2 but includes all of its functionality so that'll be better to go for. It also adds support for more wireless technologies and encryption support that wasn't available at the time of SP1.

Installing SP2 solved the problem!
