    Check your wireless router firewall settings. I have a neighbor with a Linksys open full and I have set mine to only enable for MAC specific machines. I had to turn my firewall off when I was playing with puppy linux last week. It connected fine.

    Remember turn on the network in this order.

    Turn on modem. Wait 2 minutes.

    Turn on router and wait 2 minutes.

    Turn on computer and you should connect.

    Finally got it to work.The people at Verizon weren't too much of a help.

    Set the wireless to channel 9 changed my password to 26 numbers. Then On the XO where it asked for passphrase I clicked on where it said 128 bit 40 Hexagonal something entered the 26 numbers and voila, it worked.
    Boy that was tough.
