But I had encryption turned off. Now that I have replaced the router I thought I ought to try some form of encryption. That is when my troubles started. If I turn off encryption on the new router that same laptop works fine, just as it did with the previous router (with no encryption). It will not connect however with encryption turned on. Turn encryption off again and it is all fine. Neil -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
