I bought a new laptop and it needed a password to connect. I didn't know the password and a site told me to reset my router. So I did this and now neither of my laptops can connect to it. What should I do?
View 4 RepliesI have forgotten the Username and Password for the Login ID... and it is not the default (Username: *blank* Password: admin). I have heard you can hold the reset button on the back of the wireless router but will this reset my wireless network? By that i mean... will i be able to connect with my laptop still through that wireless network or will i have to set it up again?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a local network with 4 Vista boxes and one XP box, and despite all of our efforts the internet crashes frequently and the router needs to be reset. The XP machine says that it is still connected during these times, but there is no data transfer.I am absolutely positive that this is an operating system-related issue because not only have we swapped out all of the cables, but we've also purchased a new router, and switched from local internet service to cable with absolutely no change in performance. This would be fine if it were one computer but all of the computers seem to crash simultaneously and we end up needing to unplug and replug in the router to get it to work. We've made a whole variety of changes in regards to our router setup etc, but I'm very convinced that the situation lies at the computer level.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI was logged into a standard user account yesterday and I needed a file in my Administrator account so I accessed the folder by going to to C:UsersMy Account. UAC prompted me for a password and I accessed the file just fine. Today I needed another file and used the same process. However this time it didn't prompt me for a password as I expected it would and let me straight into the Administrator account documents!
Once I had opened the Admin doucments the first time it had been automatically set with permissions. I solved it by removing the permissions from the security tab, but I assumed anytime you wanted to access files from an Admin account through a Standard account it would require a password. Is there something I'm missing here or is this Vista? Seems like a pain to have to remove permissions everytime you access a file like this.
I have read the tutorials, and I am having trouble with method three (Offline NT Password Recovery), which is what it need to do being that there are no other accounts on his laptop. My situation - my friend's brother passed away unexpectedly and I need to retrieve information on his computer (pictures mainly) for the funeral service. I have used OphCrack and Offline NT PR, but I'm not sure if I'm using them correctly.

View 4 Replies View Relatedhere is the setup, I have a Laptop with a wired 10/100/100 jack and a wireless card built in A/B/G. I have a wireless router at home that does B/G, I connect to it at G. The wireless router also has 5 10/100 ports on the back. From the wireless router I go into a cable modem, pretty standard setup so far, here is where gets fun. I have the option of "bundling" my download speeds and upload speeds with the installation of a 2nd cable modem. What I am unsure opf is how exactle this setup would work. Going to attach a pic and see what you all have in the way of advice: Basically, the 2 connections from the cable modems are 15down and 2up each, my cable company will allow me to combine the connections (they will set it up on their end) so I have 30down 4up, what I dont know is how top do it on MY end. I am attaching a word doc with a drawing to explain better. I am running Vista64 Ultimate w/sp1
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a BIG problem with my wireless network. I have two PC, one with vista ultimate X64 sp1 and another with both the same vista version plus XP sp3 X86 installed. my wireless network is based on ASUS, one router (with vista support) and another WIFI adapter installed on my second PC and as you might guess my main PC is connected to the router via the standard cable. I using WPA2 with a 63 ASCII PSK and it just works well with my XP sp3 but simply when I log in to vista it can't connect to my router, Vista can find my WIFI singal and say that it has a Good-Excellent signal. I downloaded and installed the x64 version of driver for my WIFI Adapter from ASUS website and it seems it should work. I tried everything. checking password...make it shorter reading articles about netWORKING.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy family and i just got a new dell laptop with vista on it, but it will not connect to our home internet connection. We use a Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router, Model WRT54G. I've tried various guides and searched high and low for an answer. When I try to connect to the network Linksys, It says
'Windows cannot connect to Linksys'.
Then, it says
"Make sure your computer is in range of "linksys" and that the network settings match the wireless router or access point settings"
All our other computers work fine with it, A laptop running XP, Our Home computer running XP, and even an iphone.
I'm not sure what that diagnostic is supposed to mean and I'm not familiar with vista at all.
I secured my network connection only to find out that my vista laptop couldnt connect to the wireless. it says "the setting saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network". My other MACs laptop could connect with no problems. my router: wrt54G the manual that i followed:Linksys Technical Troubleshooting Wizard v3 - Wireless Router Configuration - Security - WEP

Have my old desktop (Win XP)still connected and two wireless laptops and they have no problem. I have spoken to Dell, my ISP and tried D-Link with no success. I have updated the driver for my network card, updated the firmware on the router and have changed cables as well. It will connect when I bypass the router and go direct to the modem but not through the router. It appears that the problem is with the router but have run out of things to try.

Connecting the 360 to the router via wired is NOT even an option I am willing to discuss, you will just have to trust me that it would be a royal PITA if I were to got that route. I found another post in the Media Center and I will be doing that once I can get this box to hook up wireless w/o the need to sell one of my kids to buy the adapter

View 9 Replies View RelatedHave a wireless router and cable modem on computer 2 in one bedroom. Suddenly computer 1 in another bedroom cannot connect to to internet. Worked fine until one morning. No settings were changed. Laptop has no problems connecting. Internal network device shows as working properly. Network is there - available to choose and connect to with all green bars but attempts to connect and diagnose suggest "low wireless signal quality." All recommendations have been followed to connect but nothing has worked. Computer is less than 1 year old. Is it possible that an updated driver for the wireless adapter would help? I am going to humiliate myself and ask the stupidest question ever - the same day it quit working, some very large construction equipment was parked in an empty lot next door to us. Could this interfere with any signals?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI just bought Windows Vista Home Basic to use on a MacBook, and created a partition using a program called BootCamp, which allows the use of Mac OS X as well as Windows XP or Vista. I installed Vista and was excited to use it but then I was unable to connect to the wireless router in my house. I'm not sure why, but the Mac OS X part of my computer is using the internet through the router, but the Windows Vista will not pick up the signal from the router. Does anyone have a similar problem or solution?

I don't actually want/need wireless so I'm trying to connect to the wireless router (Linksys WRT110) via ethernet cable, but am getting "local access only". The other two computers that are connected to this router are connected to the internet and thus are NOT having this problem.
-I can not connect directly to the modem because then everyone else loses their internet access.
-firewall is off.
-ping test doesn't work, I can't ping anything since I can't get online AT ALL.
-I know my cable works; if I connect it to the modem, I can get online.
-I know the router works, because everyone else can get online. I tried to get help from Linksys, but they want $30 for one-time help, which, IMO, is BS.
