Can't connect to wireless network

[jng34c]

I am using a wireless network in my apartment. There is no
­encryption or keys or any of that sort (I'm not very network savvy).
I­t's an open network. I'm also picking up a network from my
neighbor. I­ have a laptop in the living room which is hardwired with
a LAN cabl­e to the main hub and my computer is connected via an SMC
2662W USB a­dapter and works perfectly fine. However, another
computer which has W­indows XP SP1 can't connect. I succesfully
installed the drivers for ­the adapter and it is recognizing both
wireless networks, but won't let ­me connect
whatsoever. I get a popup which says "One or more wireless network is
available" and when I choose mine and check the box that say­s to go
ahead and connect even though it is not secure, the popup ju­st comes
right back and I can't get to the internet. I can't connect­ to
EITHER connection and I'm trying to figure this out. I am getting
­"excellent" signal strength from both connections. I want to connect
to­ mine, but can someone help me out with this?

If you are not very network savvy, I would recommend upgrading your PC to
SP2. It is much more intuitive in helping you getting connected than SP1 or
SP1a.
