I have an odd issue with a Netgear WIFI router, 4 computers, 2 pc laptops with XP and 7 installed, one macbook pro and one older mac mini.

With security off everything can connect to the wifi.

With WPA-Security on only the macs can connect to the wifi.

I've reset the Netgear router, done everything again from scratch, no deal. The PCs just can't connect.
