make sure your wireless is set to use the Windows configuration tool, and not the bespoke software for that make of wireless
There's a guide here.

Connect the laptop to the router via a physical link and let it get all the latest patches etc.....or have you done this already?

Thanks for all the help and advice guys.
I have now discovered the wireless card in the laptop has an intermittant connection, that is why our IT dept threw it out.
Thanks for the offer of a spare card to try but I am getting one from work on Tuesday.
I will try to pay more attention in the future when people give me things.

Once again thanks all.
