I have an AEBS that I connect to my PB17 no problem. My girlfirend has a POS dell laptop that for the past few days can't get onto my Airport's ireless netowrk, only someone else's network in the same building (they apparently use a belkin 54g).

I recently updated the firmware, but I don't recall if that was the catalyst to the issue.

Any thoughts?

Get a new girlfriend.
Or you could try disabling all security features like WEP and MAC address filtering. Just be sure to re-enable them after you figure out what the problem is.

I fixed the problem actually.... by going to the Apple Support page for the fun of it, and found this: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107620

I've still got to work ont the first part of your solution....

The encryption method used is just as important as the password, but AirPort software doesn't just come out and say "you're using 'shared' encryption, so make sure any non-Apple clients are set properly." Too bad, because it would make things so much easier-isn't that what Apple's supposed to be about?
