What a loser.

Netgear routers tend to have a min 8 character, and max 63 character wpa password, so If you are trying to use 64 characters, that may be why it doesn't work. Try an 8 character password first, it far less error prone.

What encryption settings are you choosing in windows, is it vista or XP?

In the router config screen choose wpa-psk and tkip and use an 8 character word, nothing fancy. Click apply to save.

In XP use wpa-psk and tkip for the encryption type, and enter the same 8 word password, see if it works.

There you go daily

Nevertheless if you right click on the wireless icon (bottom right by clock) then view wireless networks, you can also just click on your network and enter your credentials from there

Sorry you are loseing yout patience,

it said you cant copy and paste a passphrase but i retyped it correctly.

Strange, you should be able to paste the passphrase/key!

Do Windows key + Pause/Break key and post what it says for the system including the service pack.
