Have you tried your security key in lower case and upper case?

[candy101]

no..but i set the password to be in lower case

Go to Start > Connect To > Show all connections

Right click on "Wireless Network Connection" and click on Properties

In the General tab in window that pops up, scroll down in the box below "This connection uses the following items:"

Click on "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)" and the Properties

On the both the General and Alternate Configuration tabs in the new window, make sure the automatic options are checked.

Do this on both laptops.

Try connecting through an alternative method, use Netstumbler.
