I actually had a similar problem with my new HP notebook.

Could not get it to see the wireless router even when I was sitting next to it.

My Macs saw it fine.

As a test I created a wireless network using my Mac as the router and the PC saw that just fine.

So I assumed their was some compatability issue with the HP and router.

Had a PCMCIA card that came with the router so I slapped that into the PC and got it configured, not ideal but whatever.

A day or so later the HP started connecting to the router using it's internal wireless all by itself. Don't know why but I removed the PCMCIA card and all is well with the world.

Try plugging the laptop into the WAP and reset up the WAP fromthe laptop.

Might be that there is a driver missing that will get sorted out that way.

Good luck.
