What O/S are you using?

What IP does the computer have when you go to the DOS Command Prompt and
enter IPCONFIG /all ?

If the computer has the 169.xxx.xxx.xxx IP, then it doesn't have an IP,
from what I'll assume is a wireless router, that's going to let the computer
access the Internet, like the other ones, which may be due to some kind of
mis-configuration. with the wireless or something may be defective.

If you use a wire connection with the machine, can it access the Internet?

I have 2 desktop an 1 laptop. The laptop and 1 of the desktop can
connect to wireless router (2WIRE). BUt one of the desk top cannot.

The one that cannot is on VIsta and the ones that work are on XP.
DOn't know if this is the issue.

I have hooked up the one that doesnot work before on directly into the
modem and it works but just not on wireless.

The network adapters is a BRoadcom 802.11g, intel (R) 82562V-2 10/100
network connection.

The router is set up on WEP.

The computer shows the wireless network but it just cannot connect to
it.

THe message is " Wireless association failed beacuse windows did not
recieve any response from the wireless router ot access point.

PLEASE HELP!

Any particular model 2wire router? Check the advanced admin page to
see if there are any firmware updates available.

Yep. It's Vista.

You should be using WPA-PSK (or WPA-personal) if your unspecified
model 2wire router supports it. Current firmware versions all support
WPA.

There are problems with the Vista DHCP client and some routers. This
was covered here in the past and can be found using Google Groups
search for "Vista DHCP". See:

Any particular model 2wire router? Check the advanced admin page to
see if there are any firmware updates available.

It is a 2wire HG-E, I checked for updates and there is none.

Yep. It's Vista.

Thanks for the link

I changed to WPA-PSK and the wireless did not work. I reset the modem
and put it on OPEN. (no security)

I got a friend to come by and he got connected it was not finding the
IP address previously, so in Inernet Protocol Version 4(TCP/IPv4) he
mapped it to the ip address, subnet mask, and default gateway.

This seemed to get me connected to the web BUT the connection is very
slow and freezes.

There are some numbers before the HG-E. See:
<http://www.2wire.com/index.php?p=106>
It should be on the serial number tag.

OK, it's probably a Vista DHCP problem.

WPA-PSK (or WPA-Personal) should work. However, I'm seeing rumblings
of similar problem with Vista and WPA-PSK in various mailing lists. I
don't know if this is for real as the person complaining usually
doesn't supply enough information to be certain. Since WEP is one big
security hole, you're only real option for security is WPA or WPA2.
Try it again, this time with a useable error message or description.

In other words, we setup a static IP address for your Vista laptop.
That will work but you will have problem if you take the laptop to a
different wireless system such as a hot spot or skool. I would make
the effort to apply the Vista DHCP fixed I supplied and use DHCP.

>This seemed to get me connected to the web BUT the connection is very

Different problem. Are the other computers also slow? What happens
when you connect to your unspecified model 2wire router with a CAT5
ethernet cable? Is that also slow? How slow? Got numbers? In both
directions? It might be that your Vista laptop is finally connected
to the internet and is furiously downloading updates from Microsloth
and other vendors. Check the flashing lights on the router to be
sure.

Check your ISP settings on the "Broadband" page in the 2wire router.
This page:
<http://www.supportshots.com/two_wire/xslt5a7a.html?PAGE=B01&THISPAGE=A01&NEXTPAGE=B01>
If it's AT&T, you'll need to add your PPPoE login and password.
