Hello,
I recently setup a wireless network, with a Linksys B router / access point in place. There are 5 machines connecting to this network. 3 laptops ( all 3 work and get good reception) and 2 Desktops. One desktop will connect just fine, however a second can see the network (using the zero configuration util) but will not join. I can see the SSID, and click connect, but then it just resets. I think the signal maybe weak in that spot, becuase it is in a corner under a desk. I put one of the laptops down there. It did not lose it signal, but it was EXTREMELY weak. Asides from buying an better antenna (which i have done), any other suggestions? Thanks!

make sure your router has DHCP enabled and your desktop has dhcp enabled, you could also try using windows' wireless conenction utility. It may be the signal, if the signal is very weak you may be able to see it but not connect.
