Hey just got myself a laptop to do my uni work on but I have one problem. I can't get wireless to work at my house, yet it works perfectly at my friends.

Firsty i was using my livebox to connect which had a network key on it. The network was picked up, i typed in the key but it just wouldn't connect. It would stay on the conecting screen untill eventually losing the connection. So I though maybe the key was wrong.

Then I dug out my old netgear which used to work with wireless on my familys old lapop. I made sure there was no password and just open acess but still the same problem, it wouldnt connect.

Im not really into the whole laptop thing, mainly pc's and was wondering if anybody could help me.

Here is a link to the model if that helps?

hmm
and you've tryed it without the WPA or WEP on yeah?
 
yeh with my netgear router. I was doing some research and apparently on my live box you have to put it in pairing mode for wireless to work so I may switch routers againg and try that?
