Wireless not connecting.....Help please

Ok if you read my other thread I finally got my local area connection to work but still have had no luck with my wireless.  I plug directly to the router and went to the linksys website to configure my wireless.  I then recieved the message during the set up that my router couldnt find my wireless.  So now I have no idea what to do next.  Please help!
 
Thank you!

    A wireless router does not find other wireless devices - it provides a wireless network with which wireless equipment can connect.  You cannot go to Linksys website to configure a router either.  Are you in fact referring to 192.168.1.1 (it's the router's IP address on your own network)?  If so, take a look at this setup example using a Linksys WRT54G wireless router:

    I am not trying to configure the router, the router is already configured.  I am using the linksys site to use the easy connect option they have to get the router to comunicate with the wireless.  The router works fine, works perfectly on 3 other computers but is not able to comunicate with my inspiron laptop.

    You should have mentioned the Easy Connect option in the first place, but note a wireless router does not look for wireless networks or devices in general.
     
    Proprietory automatic configuration features on routers don't always work so you should try configuring your wireless connection manually on your notebook - you'll learn so much more about setup by doing so.
