Problem with wireless

Question

Hi I have a 8500 with a 1300 Trumoblie wireless card.  I use a Linksys Wireless-G broadband router.  I had to reinstall XP Home and afterwards the card no longer picks up my network.  I have tried another 8600 with the same wireless card and it works, also I tried a Sony Vaio with Centrino tech and that worked as well. My card is functional, it has picked up other wireless networks but not mine and another friend's, but he runs a Linkysys network as well.  I am at a lost as to why it is not picking any Linksys wireless networks. Bios is updated to A05, all drivers were tested and updated but that did not help. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thank you

Had problems with network connection from Inspiron 5150, XP Pro with TrueMobile 1350 connecting to Linksys WRT54G wireless broadband router. The Linksys router was providing 'excellent' connection for two other laptops. As soon as the Inspiron was booted up, it knocked the other laptops off the router and the Inspiron was not able to connect to the router.

Upgraded the firmware on the Linksys router (after many other attempted fixes failed) and all is well.

Thanks to you both for the input.  I thought about upgrading the firmware on the Linksys router.  Have tried many things, can't hurt. Don
