Don't know what to change to allow PC to reconize wireless.

I have 2 laptops on my wireless home system. One works fine the other tells me 'the web page is unavailable because offline.' When I go to try and activate the wireless connection the network name is there but won't let me activate saying 'The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network. What in the world can I do? Where do I look? The network shown has a strong signal. Frank

If your using Vista: (64bit and cant download the program to clear arp error)

Start > Network > Network and Sharing Center > Manage Wireless Network > Highlight your Wireless connection ( Select Remove) > Add > Then go through the process of finding your wireless connection and you magically got back your protected wireless agian.

Hope this solves it.

I'm assuming you have a password on your network. Select the network name and right click. This should give you a list of options, one of them being properties. Click on that and put in the correct security settings. You should then be set up to use that connection.

The other thing to watch out for is using WEP or WPA settings as many older wireless cards or USB cannot work on WPA. If this is the case then you may have to convert back to using WEP or get a new compatible card.

Hope this solves the problem. If so, I would appreciate feedback. Thanks

The wireless driver for my toshiba satellite 1905-S303 doesn't seem to work.Please help because i can not go wireless

Sometimes the wireless module is turned off. Go to your control panel, select wireless configuration (Should be at the end of the screen - Alphia listing.)

If this does not work, go into your BIOS and check if the system reconize your wireless module. If it DOES and you still can't use the wireless connection, you may need to download the drivers for your pc. You can get these from your pc's web page.

Good Luck

Wireless network access: 1 laptop fine, other not so much

Check the wireless card on the PC first. Go to "My Computer" then "Device Manager" and check to se if all the hardware is ok.

Use Control panel/netconnections to check to see if you still have a wireless connection and if it works. Also check "My Network Places." Try re-installing the drivers.

As a last resort....try System Restore if it's an XP or Vista system. Remember - using system restore will return the PC to an earlier time but you could lose some stuff so decide first.

Changing router settings from 802.11G to mixed w/802.11B

Hi,

Switching the wireless mode is easy, and, if you choose "mixed," the other computers in your home can continue to use the G mode unaffected. How you adjust the mode depends on the brand of router. Since Linksys is the most common, here is how it works on a Linksys router:

1) Open your web browser (IE, Mozilla, etc.)
2) Type the web address 192.168.1.1 (default for Linksys routers).
3) You should be asked for a username and password. The default for Linksys is username "admin" and password "admin" OR username "admin" and password [blank].
4) You should then see the Linksys setup screen. The tabs across the top include Setup, Wireless, Security, etc. Click on Wireless.
5) Pull down the menu next to "Wireless Network Mode" (which shold be set to "G -Only" and choose "Mixed." Then click "Save Settings."

This should allow your B-capacle Palm to use the network without a password while still allowing your encryption-capable computers to use the G mode.

I hope this helps - please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
