Trumobile card will not connect to modem/router

I am trying to connect an old Dell laptop wirelessly to our home network.
Visitors with newer laptops can easily connect, once given our password, but in the program provided for the Trumobile card, there does not seem to be anywhere to enter our password. It shows the signal strength as exellent, but actual connection as limited and we cannot connect. Network Connections/Wireless Connection/Properties shows nothing helpful. If we connect it with a LAN cable, directly to the MBR1210, it works, but this is not convenient. What have we missed?

Inspiron 1100, running XP
Trumobile insertable wireless card
Bell Netgear MBR1210 cellular modem/router

do you see the wireless network - I assume you are using the trumobile manager from Dell or a Dell manager- you could try stopping that manager and using the windows WZC (windows zero configuration) manager

you would stop / start the process in services
Start> Run > type CMD to open a command prompt box (A new dialogue box - black with white font, will appear on screen ):

Type the following command
SERVICES.MSC

OR
Control Panel>
Administrative Tools>
Services>

now look down the list of services - see if WZC is stopped and then look for Dell or truemobile service - post back any names here and we can confirm if needed
