When you open the Wireless Network connection Icon, and select "View Available Wireless Networks", do you see your SSID?

bygeek, yes my SSID is listed

And what happens when you try to connect to it?

I had a similar problem and when I disconnected my ethernet cable, wireless worked.

If your PC Wireless card is 802.11(b), make sure your router is configured to allow connection by both 802.11(b) and 802.11(g) cards. By default, some 802.11(g) routers want only 802.11(g) cards to connect to them.

Problem Solved - I had not entered by encryption key correctly.

Thanks for all the responses.
