Its a Netgear WNR 3500. My Lenovo sees the network but it cannot apparently authenicate and I have the correct password for the homegroup. It would work when a network cable is connected after entering when prompted.
Maybe something corrupted during the first powerup and config when I entered the wireless stuff. Maybe I should have skipped and came back later. It bombed out on initial setup as well then. Other places locking to wifi is no problem at all.
Make sure all your file sharing/printer sharing is turned on in Windows 7 as well. By default it is all turned off.
