Hi there, from what you are saying the laptop and new Belkin wireless card work ok on other wireless networks? If this is true I would suspect maybe there could be an incompatibility problem with the security/encryption. Have you tried disabling the security on the Dlink? If this works I would make sure the Belkin card is running the latest drivers. If it is then set your Dlink to basic 64Bit wep as just about everything is compatible with that.

Good Luck

What model of card is it? I'd suggest hunting down some reference drivers for it.

If yours is revision 2 or later it should use a Ralink chipset. You can download a reference driver directly from the Ralink website http://www.ralinktech.com/drivers/Wi...05_1.0.2.0.exe

The 1st revision of that card uses a Broadcom BCM94306 chipset which won't work with the above driver, see how you get on with that one for now anyway.
