Why can I not discover and connect to wireless networks with Windows Vista?

Al-Khulaqui asks:

I am not able to get my laptop (Sony Vaio) connected over a wireless network in the hotel, although I can see other wireless network around me. My iPhone 4 easily connected to the network and a friend of mine also did that easily. The whole guests have no problem other than me.
