hey guys
i dont know much about wireless or network as a whole in terms of security issues.

I have purchased a DI-524 router that is connected to my current rig and am using a laptop around the house with wireless. When there is no security on my wireless connection - the laptop connects fine but when i try to set up whatever security like WEP or WPA i am getting this network status on my laptop:

"the capability of your network adapter does not match the requirements of this network"

Thats in my network connection list.
Could you guys help me out please?

P.s.
I am running xp pro on my rig and vista premium on my laptop.

the easiest thing you can do without WEP or WPA - is limit the MAC addresses for your router. Goto command prompt and type "ipconfig /all". You are looking for "physical address" line - that's the MAC address of your network card.
