Scratch that - worked it out on my own.

Had to force the network settings to reset.

Cheers,

Hi guys, I have a 24" iMac (just prior to current Gen), an iBook  
(just prior to current gen) and a WEP enabled wireless network  
running over an iinet/belkin ADSL2 modem.


The iBook connects to the network using a WEP key.

The iMac (when Booted under Vista) connects to the network via the  
WEP key.


The iMac (when running 10.5.5) keeps getting a 'connection failed'  
message.


Any advice gratefully appreciated. I'm recovering from spinal  
surgery at home, and have the iMac set up on a wheelie table in the  
bedroom.


I've got an ethernet cable running to the modem at the moment, but  
it's just a matter of time before I (or someone else) trips over it.


Cheers,

P.S. Quick google search didn't net anything, but I'm not sure if my  
keywords were appropriate.
