There are 2 computers wireless on my network, the one im on now is the farthest away and the connection is fine, the other one which is pretty close wont connect, it tells me I have an excelent signal and im connected by its sending like 5 bytes of info and getting like 14, been doing this since yesterday and dont know what to do, thanks in advance.

limited or no connectivity is bad wep key 99% of the time. Turn off wep and try, to rule out h/w incompatability
