Thank you for your responces.

Win XP Home SP3 installed.

I plugged in the cat5 cable and am able to get to the internet that way.

This is a Acer Aspire One laptop.

The wifi is Atheros AR5007EG

Network Connections shows for both WiFi and LAN.
Â* Connected Firewalled

How do I get an update if needed ?

How do I check what securith protocol it is using ?

Tried Repair but it failed.
Â*could not be copleted.Â* connecting to the wifi

Wireless properties shows my WiFi network as selected.
Â* WPA2-PSK
Â* AES
Key is dots.Â* Why can I not see to verify this ?You should know the key. Wifi setup programs will never show you the

password, it's a security thing. The only way to reset it that I know
of is to click 'forget' which disconnects that router and then reconnect
and of course you have to put in the password (now you type it as you
think it should be and slowly with one finger to make sure you do it right).
