When Security enabled, no access point available?

Finally got my desktop working with wrt54gs and cable modem. WinXPSP2, all
hotfixes. My laptopdell 8100 wpc54gs card works fine with no security
enabled on the router(well, wpa-psk aes) Uthentication on profile is set to
auto and I cannot seem to change that(if it matters) I pick up someone elses
network channel 11, but notice they have no security enabled. I have
searched linksys site and cannot find the answer. The card is wifi certified
for wpa psk aes, even wpa2, so I want to use wpa-psk eas. Before I start
disabling firewalls and such, is their something obvious I am missing? I do
use zonealarm, but with security disabled on the router the laptop finds it
fine?
thanks
