Check the wireless light is on on the router, and the
channel on the card matches the one on the router. Disable
WEP on both devices. Check the TCP/IP settings on the card
-- should be set to obatin an IP from the "server".

Once it starts working, reenable WEP. Make sure to use same
key and key length (MS offers 64 and 128-bit but some cards
only support 64-bit encryption)

BTW, make sure SSID broadcasts are enabled on the router.
Some cards require this.
