Are you able to connect to any of the other wireless networks?
You say 5 are open? Give that a try.
Also check if the firmware on the Belkin is up-to-date. There used to be ass't compatibility issues between various mfg'ers a couple of years back, but it's gotten a lot better with 802.11g. I've got an old SMC 802.11b card that didn't play well with either a D-Link router in my local bakery and a Netgear router I picked up from a client. Updating the firmware on the Netgear router fixed my problem.

Yes can connect to others, just not the one we pay for

how do you know this is his network

Because I set it up, and have all the other computers connected fine to it - One mac, one windows 2000 and another XP machine. Just this one XP machine. I have named the network, and not broadcast it. DHCP is enabled, Ip address is set to get automatically so is DNS and there is no mac filtering, though I have got the firewall on typical. What else do I have to do? I can see the network there, but can't connect to it.
Why not, what else needs configuring?

Did you set sufficient addresses in DHCP to support the number of computers you have connected?
Tell the router to broadcast the SSID/ESSID. You don't need to hide it and it can affect connectivity...
Other than that I'm running out of ideas...

Hi just thought I would give feedback on this one, and I think I have cracked it.
I had LMHOST ticked, and as soon as I unticked it, up popped the net as happy as can be. Can anyone tell me exactly what it does, I get the impression that it is kinda outdated now, and why I had it enabled in the first place is a bit of an anomalie to me to be honest.
Fracking up
