Can't connect to my wireless network
I can't connect my room's PC to my TRENDnet TEW-432BRP Router's wireless network when I use the WPA or WPA2 security thing, neither WEP. Just when the SSID is unsecured.

I can connect my iPod touch and my dad's laptop though.

I'm using a Linksys Wireless-g PCI Adapter (Speed Booster) with Windows XP Service Pack 3.

Right now I have the PC connected directly to the router via LAN and this is what the ipconfig/all gives me:

Code:
C:\Documents and Settings\User>ipconfig/all

A weak signal or wireless interference could make a secured connection fail while an unsecured one succeeds.

Do you have the latest driver for the wireless adapter? If not, get it.

I installed the latest driver for the pci wireless card and the leatest firmware update for my router.

My dad's laptop and my ipod touch get great signal. My dad's laptop is running Vista, wich is weird because I guess anyone would recomend getting XP over Vista, and I'm the one without a connection.
