Wirless connection problem BTHomehub

[Marc]

Hi all, recently got windows vista and im having problems connecting to a Bt
Homehub.
I can connect to hub wired and also if i make it unsecure then i can connect
but as soon as i set it to secure using WEP key then vista dosent even seem
to be able to find the hub.The hub works fine when using XP.
Ive also tried seeting the encryption to WPA and WPA 2 but have the same
problem.

Any ideas?

I think i might have sorted it.
Ive installed the latest drivers for the wirlees network card and now seem to be connecting when using WEP.
