(On my laptop at the moment) 
 
My PC wont find the network, its a D-Link one & when its searching it has a little D that changes colours. At the moment its flashing red/white 
 
Under network connections if I click on "view available wireless networks" it finds our network. If I try to connect to it it just tries to & then stops 
 
Switched off my PC, the router & unplugged everything & reconnected it 
 
The network is fine on other PC's. Currently sat next to my pc & I have "excellent" signal strength 
 
Tried a few bits & bobs to get it to connect but Im stuck   
 
Anyone have any ideas?

Might be filtered by MAC address. 
 
Can you get in to the router config from any other computer?

http://192.168.0.1 into the browser, and check the settings to see if mac restriction is on, it could be that your laptop is just a tad bit gay...

are you putting your password in as one of the Keys the router provides to you or as the word you entered for your password (this is encrypted and keys are generated from it)
