router and what type of wireless connection (WEAP WEP)?

Do you mean WPA and WEP?yes, typo error. not the best typing.Sorry its dell INSPIRON 6400 with windows vista home premium. Router is Thomson and security is by WEP.
When i click the icon at bottom right of screen it says wireless networks are avilable but when i then click connect to a network it the screen i am shown then with the problem. The box marked show is blank and wont drop down as normal to GIVE me options of wireless or other connections. If i refresh nothing happens, and in the middle of screen it says windows cant find any addition networks.
Hope this helps!Dell usually uses Intel or Broadband for their wireless connection. U need to check with one is install. Go to support.dell.com choose the by serial # This will give u all the spec's and driver for your LT. Download the driver for wireless LT. Write back & let us know. Thanks for the info, i downloaded the latest driver but it MADE no difference. Any other suggestions?
If it was a Intel u might have to download the Administrator SW Intel SITE. Check which wireless card u have and down load the SW.
