Wireless Connection at Workplace

Question

I am able to hook up at home to my network, I am even able to connect to public access networks elsewhere...at work however I am unable to connect through their wireless router.  Any suggestions?  I even had verizon reset the WEP code and it still doesn't connect.  The two other laptops connect...one is a Mac.  Please give me some advice.

Do you have any kind of Access filtering enabled on the router at work?  This is usually done in the router configuration, where you enter the MAC address (Physical Address) of any network cards that will be allowed to connect.  If this type of access filtering is enabled on the router, but the MAC address of your wireless card has not been entered into the table of allowed MAC addresses, it would explain why you cannot connect.

Also, this is kind of a bland answer but make sure it is the same wireless type. Make sure your wireless adapter is compatible with their wireless router.
