I am at a friends house here who has a BT HomeHub. My Dell Inspiron 6000 is seeing the Wireless network but when I try to connect is says "Waiting to connect to Network" but then does not do so!
1) MAC address filtering active - add your MAC address to WAP list
2) WEP or WPA encryption active - obtain shared key
3) DHCP not active on WAP / router - activate on WAP / router, ensure range large enough
4) DHCP not active on laptop - set to automatically obtain IP address etc.
5) 802.11 b/g mismatch - check WAP and laptop wifi card set to same speed (or "any").
