This your home wifi system ?

Check that the router doesn't have Access List enabled (filters users in or out by their hardware's unique MAC ID).

Check router's wireless mode is appropriate to the HTC.

Also try disabling wireless security while you try to make the connection to the HTC.

Is your wi-fi card capable of running as a hot spot? Try putting another laptop next to it and connect to your laptop.
