Phil, have you checked the security settings on the SH2 wireless? Log into the SH2, select 'Advanced Settings' then under 'Wireless' check the 2.4 & 5 GHz Primary. By default it should be set to WPA Auto but if not and it's on one of the newer and stronger encryption settings such as WPA2-PSK this sometimes doesn't allow older wireless cards to connect due to the advanced encryption.

I only found this out when my friend visited with his older laptop and for some reason I couldn't get it to connect when everything else would. Found this solution which worked for us so thought I'd let you know in case this may solve your issue.

Failing that, you don't mention whether you've tried a good old reboot? Turn the SH2 off for 30 seconds and let it reboot and see what happens.

Hope you get it sorted mate.
