Can't connect via airport to my wireless network.

[Jschultz]

Help!

I Have a linksys wireless router that is working just fine with my girlfriends PC, yet I try to connect to it wirelessly via my AlBook, and I cannot connect. It keeps on coming back with the "there was an error joining the airport network xxx" message. I have the PB set to WEP key, and I have put the correct WEP key in time and time again.

I have no idea what to do? I'm not stuck in the office of our apartment to the router. Any tips?

ummm.... just so I know what you did. you hit the airport network choose other... and then filled in the network name... selected WEP Password in the wireless security menu and put in your network key?

Actually, nothing of that sort. I saw my network in the list, selected it, and got the error message.

You should have to type in both your Router Network name and WEP password to get it to work.

So what should I do then? Click on the airport icon up top, and go to manually join a network?

Click "Other..." it would ask for a network name and set the security you're using (WEP) and then it will ask for a password.

Jschultz, did that work for you? I have the same issue from time to time.

Nope, still does not work. Are there any other settings I ought to check out?

Have you checked the router setup from her computer to see if she is blocking all requests except from her MAC address or if there is a limit on how many connections there can be at once?
