Evening all.
I have had to resort to using my old computer as there,s a problem with my modem connection on my vaio.
It wont connect to the modem and comes up with i have the wrong saved data in my computer for it to access it.WTF…
How do i abtain this data and re-enter it into the bloody thing.
Netgear modem…

Thanks in advance…

1) do you mean modem, or do you mean router?

2) when you say “it comes up with,” what does it actually come up with? Don’t paraphrase.

You’re using a dial-up modem / ADSL modem and the saved credentials are wrong? Is that what you mean?

Two computers having connectivity issues – are you sure it’s a computer problem? Symptoms?

sorry adsl router.
Hang on a min cougar and i,ll boot it up and tell you what it says.
Right bud.
windows vista…internet won,t connect.
Click (connect to)
list of networks comes up
mine says

The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network.

What was the original problem?

Where I’m going with this is, if your DSL is down, changing computers isn’t going to help.

Rebooted the router?

If only the rest of STW worked that way… (-:

rebooted the router lots of times.
My old vaio works fine.
There,s bloody big red X next to mine in the list of the visable routers IE the neighbours..

It’s saying your WiFi password is incorrect, most likely. You should be able to re-enter it, but the easiest attack might be to delete the connection (double-click on the WiFi icon in System Tray) and recreate it.

Original questions stand though.

My old vaio works fine.

Ah! The old one works, the new one doesn’t. Sorry, misunderstood.

Vista or W7?

vista bud

Iv,e just connected to one of the neighbours no problem… 😳

double clicked it.
just comes up not connected…No delete option AAAARRR
It,s saying it needs the network security key.
Where the hell do i get this from…..

Problem solved!!

Srsly, deleting the existing connection (uh, Network Places / right-click / Properties / Manage or some such) is probably the easiest fix.

There’s an ugly thing in Vista called ‘Windows Connect Now’ which is supposed to simplify the (obviously monumentally difficult) procedure of hooking up to a router. It can go loopy, so it’s worth being aware of. There’s an overview here.

Where the hell do i get this from…..

If it’s not something you’ve set, it’ll probably be on a sticker underneath the router.

1) you may have chosen it or set it up when you got the thing
2) they may have picked it for you and it’ll be somewhere in the bumph they sent you
3) it might be written on the bottom of the router in the form XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX or some such.

Thanks cougar.Your a star.
I,ll do it tomorrow as i,m of to bed now.
If i have any problems with it can i get back to you please.
Thanks a lot….
