connected with limited access error message

On my other new laptop with home premium vista, I can only get partially
connected to my home network. It identifies the network name, shows it is
"connected with limited access". Any one know what I am missing (or not
matching) on the properties or setup???
My other home machines are still working fine.

I had this problem with my new laptop, long story short, had to change my
router settings from using WEP128 to WPA-PSK and it solved my problem.
Apparently there is an issue with WEP128 and Vista with some routers and no
real fix. I wouldn't have minded changing to WPA-PSK but the CF wireless
card I have for my PDA doesn't support it.
