Default Problems getting wireless internet working on flatmates laptop
Not sure what is the right section to put this but any help would be useful.

I've finally got internet set up in my flat though o2. So far its been absolutely fine connecting first my computer and then my laptop using the router they supplied, just plugged it in, both computers detected the router, put in the passphrase and was away.

However, my flatmate is now trying to connect her laptop as well and we are running into a few problems. Basically, it detects the router, connects fine, but sees it as an "Unidentified Network" she can connect to my computer and see all my shared files and I can do the same to hers but it just won't make the final link to the internet. We've tried all sorts of things, reset the connection, disabled and re-enabled the wireless adaptor and used the o2 install CD but nothing is working.

Briefly it was working when connected over Ethernet directly to the router but that no longer works either. When using the o2 setup disc it initially was saying there was a problem with the adaptor (which there can't be as it connects fine to the router and works with general network useage) now it just says can't detect the modem. It also sometimes mentions that it can only connect with "limited connectivity"

Its a HP Turion based laptop, running Vista with Kaspersky 2010. I've tried with it totally disabled and re-enabling windows firewall but still no luck. The laptop is also running in German so I'm finding myself getting a little lost in the menus sometimes

Any ideas what to try next?
