Wireless network problem

Ok here's the story:

I've got 2 pc's here, one of them is already succesfully connected to my wireless network.
The other one can't seem to do that..
It has a Conceptronic 54g wireless pci card built in.
It does see the network but it can't connect to it somehow..
I've tried to install the wireless card from my other pc in the problem pc and then it works flawless..
So the problem can't be the pc right?

So does anyone know what could be the problem?

forgot to tell i already did that too,

the problem pc is my old one and the working pc my new one.

i got the conceptronic card with my new pc so i tried it out right away but it didn't work on that one either, it has exactly the same problem.

so i just took my older wireless card and put it in my new one because i wasn't planning on using my old pc anyway..

but now i need it again and it has to have a connection to the internet..

any suggestions on some configurations i could try?

ok the signal of the old card is 78.

and the new card gives -52? is that even possible?

and i still dont understand how it can be that the card sees the network under available networks but can't connect to it..
