    Quote of the week, that. I'm sure it'll rub some people the wrong way, but it made my day :D

    When you say that the adapter can see the router, do you mean that it sees the SSID? (The name that the router broadcasts).

    Do you have encryption enabled on the router? WEP or WPA? Have you tried disabling encryption? (Just as a test, it wouldn't be a good idea to leave it disabled).

    Is there anyone else connecting to the router wirelessly? Is the router using a "MAC address filter" to restrict who can connect to it?

    Don't use WEP. Use WPA. You might as well not have WEP turned on for all the good it will do you.
