Hi,
My flatmate has a Sony Vaio laptop and she is unable to pick up the wireless signal from our home router. She CAN however pick up 6 other networks from the nextdoor neighbours. It used to work just fine and I have been trying for over a week to fix it! She uses windows XP.

I am running Ubuntu and have no problems, my other flatmate is running XP on a Dell Inspiron and that's fine too.

I have the internet set up via a Linksys WRT54gs (v7, firmware version 7.50.2) wireless router. DHCP is enabled using WPA encryption and MAC Filtering. She hasn't upgraded drivers or anything. Her MAC is allowed.

Any suggestions or ideas???
