We security-enabled our home network last night and then I couldnt reconnect my laptop - we seemingly tried everything and after about an hour the guy from iinet gave up saying its my (3 year old Sony Vaio) laptop's fault. Anyone had anything similar happen? Any advice welcomed.

does you router have a "reset" button. Mine does, takes it back to the defaults. Never done the wireless thing myself, but at a guess perhaps you got the key wrong?

You'll need to provide some more information.
1. What operating system is on the laptop?
2. What type of encryption are you using? WPA? WPA2? WEP?
3. Are your drivers for the laptop network card updated so that it is able to recognize the encryption type you enabled? Some older cards cannot recognize WPA2 etc.
4. Did you reset the laptop after setting up the network? Simple little thing but it solved the same kind of problem with me before.Nothing from something.

Edit: didnt see that your girls laptop can connect, log in to the web interface from her laptop, and change it to a different security type WPA1 instead of 2 etc. Find what workshttp://www.insearchofacocktail.com - Check it!

Download the SP3 pack from the microsoft website on the other computer, transfer via USB and viola. You don't need to be online to install it.
See how that helps. Depending on what security you enabled, most laptops will pick up WEP so try changing it to that.
The model number of your modem may help me talk you through some things.Last edited by zed7fiddy; 08-08-2009, 05:37 PM.Nothing from something.
