Default My Wireless Problem.

I am using WinXP SP2

I have a BEFW11S4, currently I have 5 users connected using wireless and its working fine.

I got a new laptop and tried to connect to the router but it prompts "wireless network not available please try refresh you network" when I click on my SSID.

Normally for new setup it will just prompt for the WEP key and its done (it works for the rest of the 5 setups before)

Therefore I bring my laptop to neighbor to test, I successfully log in to his wireless in less then a minute (that means my laptop is ok)

What could be wrong? Does this BEFW11S4 have a limited user problem?

When adding a new device to an established network, sometimes I just have to reboot and reconnect a couple of times before the first connection is made. Sometimes a security setting (like MAC address restrictions) blocks new hardware.

Usually, after the first success, everything works fine (for a while). If everything on the network is XP or Vista, I'd use WPA2 instead of WEP.
