After trying to network my computers, I am unable to get online with them.

I am running Windows Vista.  I tried in my office network, and 2 separate laptops and do not know what I did wrong.  I can access Internet from my office, but can no longer access the Internet wirelessly from a laptop.  Is it possible to remove the wireless networks currently install and start over?  I have a Linksys router.  Everything worked fine until I tried to network, now, just trying to get back where it was originally so I can connect by wireless.  Any suggestions on how to fix this?

original title: wireless connection problem

You may need to check the settings of the router. Sometimes the wireless router is setup by default to block physically connected devices who are wireless. You can add manually wireless networks if go to control panel-> Network Center control and sharing Center-> manage wireless networks to remove manually and add the network back. But you can generally if you analyze wireless networks it automatically detect security settings and you just have to type the password again.

  • I have problems to connect to my network wireless computers in my house running XP Pro.

    Hello. I have problems to connect to my network wireless computers in my house running XP Pro. I set up my wireless router to use WPA - PSK encryption. When I type in the passphrase on computers running XP in my house, I get an error message indicating that the password must be 5 to 13 ASCII characters or 10 to 26 characters in hexadecimal. It doesn't even seem like it checks the password. The error immediately.

    I tried to connect to the network using my work running Windows 7 laptop and it works fine. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    original title: cannot connect wireless

    Go, I tried and it worked was that you have to be sure what parameters you have set when you set the security of your are wireless (for example the Type of security, Encryption Type etc.) and they have to be compatible with the version of your laptop.
    Older versions usually have 64bitWEP or WEP 128 bit and newer versions have WPA, WPA2-Personal (PSK).

    The 64-bit and 128-bit require 5 or 13 characters. These characters can be obtained when you configure the wireless (it will ask you to put the characters and the characters will be automatically converted to hexadecimal characters, which it must be remembered that they are the password wireless).

    WPA or WPA2 - Personal (PSK) are easier to implement and the passwords are normal characters that you want it to be.

    Then go to your security wireless set up the page and re - configure the password or the type of network and it should help

    Start the computer in safe mode (press F8 continuously immediately after power and don't worry beeps when you press the button) and let it boot without a network.  Once there right click on the desktop and then click Properties.  Click settings and the value of the monitor mode (640 X 480) VGA or SVGA (800 X 600).  Accept the changes and restart the computer.  You should have a mediocre screen, but you should see it now.  Download and install the appropriate drivers for your video card in the laptop to the web site of the manufacturer of the laptop.  Install the drivers and then you should be able to set the display of the laptop to the correct native resolution for your computer monitor (must be in the documentation of the laptop).
