I just bought a new hp dv6-1210sa laptop which uses windows vista. On the wireless network we have at home there is one laptop one desktop an ipod touch and a phone connected to it. But when i go to connect my new laptop it sees that the network it there but it will not connect. I can connect the laptop to the internet via cable but this is useless as the whole point ov a laptop is to be able to use it anywhere around the house. I have tried changing the router channel security settings name and other settings. I have tried resetting the router. I have turned off firewalls in vista. Nothing is working. Please healp me. I know my way around a computer and this is so frustrating.

When I diagnose the problem - firstly it said thre was no response from the router or access point, secondly was when i manually set up the connection and it said the network was hidden.

Thanks.
