new works laptop - can't connect to my home wireless

Just got a new laptop from work and want to connect to my wireless network, but can't.
I'm running Vista and not broadcasting the SSID. I have tried to manually type it in, but just can't get a connection. I can connect on my old works laptop (XP) (I have both in front of me at the moment).
Anyone and ideas?

enable SSID broadcast, are you using full encription, then scan for networks and go with that.
once its connected once, remove the SSID and see how you get on. It adds it too the wireless networks thing.0
