Agree. Also the one that had be scratching my head the most was the laptop that wouldn't connect to a wireless AP that everyone else would but would connect to other APs without a problem. Turned out that the laptop was brought to the UK from the States and the UK has a few more channels allocated and the UK AP was using a channel that the US wireless card driver didn't allow:-) Reference:- http://www.broadbandbuyer.co.uk/BuyersGuide/FAQDetail.asp?TextID=425&SetID=80
