2 wire connection

So, both computers are on the lan segment of 2wire? How many lan ports on 2 wire? Can you do ipconfig from the command line on both computers to see what the addresses are? In most cases, the first 3 octets xxx.yyy.zzz.### should be the same. If not, then 2wire is configured for vlan and the computers are actually on different lan segments & cannot communicate with each other.
Another thing you can do to troubleshoot is to ping each other's address.
You have to first establish there is communication between the 2 systems before troubleshooting further. Otherwise, you could be wasting a lot of time.

change the channel. this is a common problem when wireless routers are broadcasting on the same channel and at times, some cordless phones will interfer as well.

good luck

I would give you two options
1. to change ur wireless key to fit to this card
2. u can still let windows configure wireless for this card as well

However would like to have a clearer report about the problem

If your laptop is not detecting the wireless router, can you try to get the laptop closer to the router ? If you have done that already, I would suggest you to try and power cycle the router once. If that doesnt work either, try to reset the router. Hope this helps

Not sure from your post if your using the adapter or their gateway.

Yes you can. My neighbor is piggy backing off my gateway 2wire router from att. He doesn't have any lag except for late at night. Other than that it rocks. Just set up your security.

i just called HP and they talked me through it

yes you can return the linksys.
the following link should help you setup the 2 wire for wireless conneciton.

You need to be a little more specific on this issue if you wish to get assistance.

Best,
