The 2 with wireless problems are both on vista.
*Under the wireless tab on the router home it says
Wireless
WLAN: PlusnetWireless006F79
(54Mbps)
Active DesktopPCWInstallat-PC
Active Desktopsarah-PC
Active DesktopiPhone
All 3 have a green tick next to them although the iphone is the only one capable of loading anything.
Under event log I think this is the message showing the problem, judging from the amount the message appears I'd say it's from trying to open webpages, rather than an incorrect password.

Could really do with getting this fixed because I can't be doing with the bch-fest that will ensue if they both have to go without internet <_>

I disabled security mode via the router interface and have changed the network settings via Network and Sharing - View Status - Wireless Properties - Security - Not authentication (open) on the first tab and Encryption type None on the second tab.
Now the only problem is that it's a completely unsecure network.
Any tips on what I should do next?

Sorry that I have been unable to respond to your PM sooner. Could you let me know a date and time as to when you'll be free for me to give you a ring? I'd be more than happy to take a look into this to see if I can get it all sorted out for you?

Got the problem sorted to some extent now, see http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,108556.0.html
Only problem being that it's via unsecured / registration only settings on the router / network and sharing centre.
Now I'm looking for why the PC / Laptop on Vista won't connect using any of the several encryption types.
Replies here would be fine but if you want to give me a call any time after 5pm or so during the week / anytime on the weekend would be fine.

What's weird is the fact that on ADSL there has never been a problem with the wireless, that was on the thompson router. This problem has appeared out of thin air if you like.
That said I've tried EVERYTHING you could google and an awful lot of common sense things, so I'm thinking it's either the router itself or a hardware / OS issue.
Ty again for your time.
*Still on disabled security mode so this is what I need to sort now
