Vista won't connect to wireless network. Please help.

Ladies and Gentlemen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. No doubt this is a simple fix that my outdated talents cannot fathom. I drive a '77 911 for goodness sake. Still playing with points!

I have a new vista powered notebook and I cannot get my wireless connection to connect. I have WPA security only enabled and my old XP notebook (5 years old) can connect with no problem, every time. This new Vista notebook can see the network, but when I try to connect, I always get the same error "Wireless authentication failed because of a timeout."

The fact that my old notebook can connect and my new notebook can see the wireless network makes me think that my wireless router settings are OK. I can connect the new notebook with a cable to the wireless router no problem.

The Pelican community is a vast array of knowledge that has been extremely helpful in the past. I now turn to that diversified expertise instead of Google. Am I overly fixated on Porsche and it's community?........................................ ......Yes.

Thank you
Craig.
