Problems with Macbook connecting to Belkin ADSL2 router

All Windows based PCs and laptops can access this wireless network fine but when I try with my Macbook, running Leopard, I just get connection timed out. I've tried connecting using Windows XP running on my Macbook and this connected in a few seconds with no problems at all.

Is there an issue with Belkin products and Mac products running Leopard at all?

Both answers to that are negative

Thanks for the suggestions mate - sadly it didn't solve the problem

It's using WEP encryption (I think), I don't want to remove the encryption as it's not my network!
Have tried putting $ in front of the password but this fails still, and I havent tried assigning manual details either.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but this is still causing problems. I can't understand why it won't connect when the password (WPA I discovered) is definitely correct. It just says connectin failed.

Holy thread revival!

Thanks for that - will have a try this weekend

Small update -

Just changed the wireless encryption to WPA Personal and I'm now posting via OSX on the network

Cheers for the suggestions!
