Wireless Connection Won't Connect, says Not connected
Hi
I am using Windows XP and a Belkin router. The router connection shows up in my list with full bar strength and another computer in the house (a Mac) can connect to it without a problem. When I try to connect, it attempts to, then just goes right to saying "Not connected" and I can't get on the internet. I can also connect to other neighboring open networks without a problem. It's only my own router that I cannot connect to.
I've tried resetting the router and sometimes this works for a few hours, but then goes back to not connecting again.
Please help.
Thank you!

Do you have a password for your router? Never, ever leave it unprotected or anyone can come along and use your internet, change settings and access all the files on your network. If you do have a password for it, ensure that you've entered it into your computer before connecting otherwise it won't allow you to.
