Cannot connect to wireless router

Hi


I have Vista Home Premium with a Fujitsu U810. I can see my D-Link Router, but when i connect, it fails. Windows is unable to identify the problem. The XP machines that I have can connect without any problems.

I have tried with and without security, but the results are the same.

If I connect the LAN cable, it works fine,

Interestingly, the vista Fujitsu can connect to the network in the Westin Hotel!

Any suggestions greatefully received.

Fujitsu are at a loss to explain the problem.

Thanks.

Re: Cannot connect to wireless router

Wahay, I fixed it.
I updated the firmware as suggested by a number of you. I now have v 1.04.
The reason why I did not do this before was that the date on my firmware was leter than that offered by D-Link.
Wrong!
- I have an Australian model
- The user manual, instructions and help web links are American
- The label on the router says 1.03, but if you look on the Australian web page, it says 1.03 fixed the vista problem. So I actually had the US firmware
That aside, I pushed through and it all works.
Note: I ignored the advice to NOT update the firmware by wireless and was lucky. I think I should have done it by the cable.
Anyway thanks guys for the comments
The lessons learned are:
1 - never trust what the label says
2 - stay away from Vista!
3 - thank heavens for the internet community who came up with the answer.
Goodnight from OZ
