I don't have Windows 7 on my laptop so I'm just tossing out ideas to look at. I run it on my Dsktop but I don't have Wireless there so can't see what it should be on a working system.
Some good tips here: http://forums.techar...aks/1148200.htm
Also, open a command prompt and enter: netsh wlan show all > netsh.txt
Upload netsh.txt here as an attachment so we can look at it. Use the buttons below the message input area to Browse to the file then Upload it. Once uploaded, click on Manage Current Attachments then click on the first small icon. That will place a link to your uploaded file in your reply. We can then download it to look at it.
One last thing. There are several version of the Belkin Wireless G USB adapter, which one do you have?

What do you see in Manage Wireless Networks? (Click on Start and enter wireless (no enter) then select Manage Wireless Networks)

RPinney, I trust that you entered the WEP code, but I need you to understand just how complicated a WEP code is. That's one of the reasons why I much prefer the more secure WPA. WEP codes are long and tedious and are very, very easy to type in or write down wrong.
The problem you are talking about is almost always an incorrect WEP code that has been entered. You must make absolutely sure you are typing in the right code. To do so, you should connect to your router's web based management console, look up the type of encryption it is using and verify you have the right code. Then double check it again.
EDIT: A good test to see if you have the right code. Go to a different computer, disconnect from the wireless network then reconnect which should prompt you for the code. Type in the code you think it is and see if you can successfully connect again with another computer.
edit: You were right it was 1 digit incorrect. Someone else wrote the code down and I they wrote a 6 that looked like a 0.
Thanks, it works now
