Did you go to the little faded out wifi icon in the status bar and choose Select connection?

Re: cant connect to the internet please help!
 

when i choose select connection sometimes it will show up as no connecction available and sometimes it will find my connection and it will prompt me to enter my wep key and once i do that it will say network error.

Hmm. Don't know then. I'd make double-sure you're inputting your wep key correctly. If you have control over the router, disable the wep and see if you can connect unsecured.

Beyond that, sorry, can't help you.

I am really starting to get frustrated at this point. Out of 50 times that I have tried to search for my connection maybe there was only 2 times that it actually have found my connection, and when I do type in my wep key correctly it still does not work. My n800 keep finding some other connection called "xh111" and "danlach" I have no clue what those are. Do you think that there is something wrong with my n800, or do I have to upgrade to 2008os?

Try disabling the hidden ssid feature on the router for a while.

You can go in control panel-connection-new connection. Then setup n800 for wlan. Also set "Any Connection" in search.

d-link router - Model ... ???

Re: cant connect to the internet please help!
 

As a rule, you should never decide that anything isn't working based on one kind of experience. You might try another wireless connection somewhere else. I think that Boingo is giving free trials this month, for example.

I have a dlink router that works perfectly (for a crappy router).

I had exactly that problem with my new N800 and my D-Link DIR-422 802.11n router. My N800 couldn't even see my wireless network unless I walked a couple of houses down the street.

My Windows XP laptop had a similar problem, even though an Ubuntu 7.10 liveCD booted on the same laptop connected instantly. That hinted at a software issue.

I switch the XP wireless software on the laptop from the laptop vendor's to the native XP stack, and it connected. That encouraged me to upgrade my N800 to OS2008, and it also connected flawlessly. Joy!

Please give OS2008 a try. It solved this problem for me. And please let me know what happens.

OP -
WHAT D-Link router?

There had been problems hooking to preN routers in the past.
