In what way can not you get it to work?

Have you enabled WPA and entered an encryption code and what type of encryption?

basicly i select WPA as the security, select next. It then brings up the wireless WPA settings.

Click Next to continue. Then brings up the following screen

Group Key Interval:

802.1x

Server IP Address:
Port:
Secret:

PSK String


not sure what to type where :S

If you are trying to set security up via wireless, you might have problems on that type of router. Hard wire from your comp to router
