My brother in-laws dad, has bought himself a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Lappy (built in wirless Atheros AR5005G), he aslo bought a Linksys WRT54GS wireless router.

I connect the 250 CM to the WAN port on the router and another cat5 to port one (to do the inital setups)

they have the same SSID, the lappy can see the router but not connect, this must be a security issue, I cannot find the same protocols on both, the linksys has (recalling mem,) WPA personal, the lappy has WPA PK?

any advise would be much appreciated (I'm not near the lappy now)
