I have a compaq desktop running XP and laptop running xp. Broadband connection comes in through a dish and modem and cable inside the house. The wireless router is a ZyXEL P-320W and the wireless 802.11g usb adapter is an ZyXel G-202. I'm new at this so dont realy know what to do.

From your lat post you stated that your computer can connect to your wireless no problem but your laptop is un-able to find it correct?

the desktop is connected to the router by cable so that works. Only the laptop is wireless

Did you get any documentation with your ZyXel equipment? You have to set up your router and then install the drivers for your usb adapter on your laptop and configure it to communicate with your router. There are usually step by step walkthroughs included with the router and adapter documentation for this. Sometimes they are referred to as "Quick Start" guides. That's the first place to look.

Thanks I will check the cd that came with it as there is not much else documentation

The CD should have a full manual on it in either HTML help format or PDF.
