Hi Janet
Where are you losing the connection? Between the computer and the 2wire or between the 2wire and the outside world?
Are the 2 macs the same or different (model & OS etc).
There shouldn't be an issue with the macs connecting to the 2wire (I'm assuming wireless) but if there is, try connecting them by ethernet cable to the 2wire and see if that improves things. If it doesn't then I would suspect that either the 2wire itself OR the wire outside your house are to blame.
(There should have been a spare ethernet cable (yellow or blue) in the box with the 2wire - that's if you still have the box.)

Is there any other computer online through the same router. If that computer is online then check the settings of the laptop. Check whether it is connected to the network or not ?
If there is no other computer, then connect your computer to the router and check whether it goes online with the cable connection. If the cable connection works then open the set up of the router and check the wireless settings of the router.

First you need to create a administrator account on both computers. Make sure that you have ipx and spx protocols and both comptuer installs. Take you laptop back to your router and log into with the gateway address and go to the wireless tab. There you can create a network key, which is known as a password.

Generally you sort them in the order you want (to bring all the ones to be deleted together)
Select them all (left click the top one, Shift key + left click the bottom one)
Delete them

You may have to make more columns of data visible to get the right column to sort by

Remove aircard
Open AT&T Connection Manager
Help>Customer Care Tools>Reset Mobile Device Drivers
Insert Aircard

you need adobe software.
Go to Adobe website.or filehippo.com and download the Adobe from that and it will work.

It says limited or no connectivity ?

Is there any security on the wireless network ?
I think the wireless network might be secured and you are not typing the correct password.
Or the router is not generating the IP address ot the computer.
You will need to check the wireless settings of the router

Check the settings of the router.
If it is a cable connection then check if you are online through the modem.

I recommend AVG Anti Virus,

There is a free edition for your use only

http://free.avg.com/gb-en/download?prd=afg

The paid version has added features.

normally the defaul IP is 192.168.100.1. You could access the router by putting http://192.168.100.1 on your address bar.

Try it.

Hope this will work for you

Thank you for choosing Fixya

There are a few things you can do to help reliability
You should first make sure that the modem and router are individually
set up correctly.
I do have a guide for that.
Once that is done you should consider giving out proper IP addresses
Big business does this for security and reliability and it is no different for home users except maybe easier
Read the guide for router and modem first and if any of it may apply to you then try and do it.
The second part deals with IP addresses and this may well help you
I have a selection of computers laptops servers at home on a small network
It is quite some time since I last had to do any sort of system wide shutdown
Try the following procedure and write down anything you change so that if you need to go back you know what was changed.
Connect ONLY the MODEM to a pc and nothing else
Go to the start menu and select RUN
In the box type "cmd"
Now in the black screen that has come up type "ipconfig /all"
Take note of the numbers that are in 4 groups e.g. 192.168.1.1
Also take note of the name in front of those numbers !
Take note of the DEFAULT GATEWAY
Now do the same thing with your ROUTER
If that too has the same IP as your modem in "default gateway" then you need to fix that issue as that is probably a part of your problems.
The fix for router modem conflict is to set the router to use a different IP range.
To do this only have the router connected (by wire) and open an internet explorer page (it will fail but that's ok)
In the address bar type the number you got for default gateway above for the router e.g. 192.168.1.1 and press ENTER
When it asks for the user name, give it the one you gave it when you set the router up or the default one from your manual
Also give it the password you gave it when you set it up or once again the default one from the manual.
You now need to look for a box that has the number you just used to get into the router.
It may just say IP address or Starting IP or something similar
That is the number you should change. I usually change the third block e.g. 192.168.2.1 as opposed to 192.168.1.1
You should also have some DNS numbers from the checks further up with the MODEM
You should find the DNS boxes and place those numbers in there. This will allow your computer quicker access to finding things on the internet
Now look for the save settings button and do so.
Reconnect the modem and router. The cable from the modem should go to the YELLOW socket on the router.
Power up the modem and WAIT until all the correct lights are on.
Then do the same with the router.
Now power up a pc and check that you can surf without problems
If not then the problem may lay elsewhere. Go back and re-check.
Now to issuing IP addresses and why.
The computer has to knock-on the routers door and ask for directions home as its address changes everytime it leaves home (switched off)
You are going to give it a permanent key to its own door. Write down all that you do once again.
The same applies to both wireless and wired connections.
You may get an occasional error regarding the IP address already being assigned tell it to ignore and go ahead.
Call up your control panel and select Network Connections
If you have more than one don’t worry
Right click the first one and select properties
Scroll down to Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) highlight it then click properties
There are boxes here where you are going to type numbers.
Click the "Use the following IP address"
If you changed your router to lets say 192.168.2.1 Then I would use 192.168.2.10 as the first number
The second box is 255.255.255.0
The third box would be 192.168.2.1 (same as your router address)
The two DNS numbers at the bottom can be got from the numbers you wrote down early on when you just had the modem connected
E.g. 207.147.239.12
207.147.239.200
Now click OK
If you have more than one connection available then go to the next one and do the same EXCEPT the first IP
I would use 192,168,2.11. The rest would be the same as before.
Now move on to the next computer and do the same again but this time in the first box I would jump by ten so the IP would be 192.168.2.20
Again if it has more than one connection then do the same as above and advance the number by one in the top box
Next machine same deal advance by ten. Once you have all your computers done then shut EVERYTHING down
Power up the modem and WAIT until all the correct lights are on.
Then do the same with the router.
Now power up a pc and check that you can surf without problems
If your problems are mainly wireless related the next part might be of use.
It is more than possible that the location of your router or co channel interference is causing disruption.
If its channel interference try setting your router to auto for channel selection.
If you are not getting any more than a 10mb connection to the router consider moving the router
It may be a problem with the windows wireless config
To turn of wireless zero config open control panel, click administrative tools, now services, then scroll down to wireless zero config.
Double click on it then click stop. Then set the service to manual. Make sure you click the APPLY button before hitting OK. You can now close the rest of the windows.
I would suggest at this point you also do a shut down and restart.
What you have just done is tell windows to stop messing about looking at other peoples wifi to see if it fancies something better (sound familiar ?)
You told it that it only has eyes for you ;-)
If you have any problems use the information you wrote down to back step to a working point and then double check from there
I know this looks like a lot to do but for most of us with more than a couple of computers at home it is usually worthwhile

You can not :) Look you can not turn time back :)
Of to prevent such things in the future make sure you have dsl filters installed on all devices.

Press and hold the power and home button.....continue holding after the device powers on and until you see it resetting. at this point release the power button and continue to hold the home key....after the device has finished, you may try the restore again....more than likely the file you are trying to restore it with is corrupted..........if your device is not working now, then it should after the reset sequence.... Good Luck

The WEP and WAP key is configured in the wireless router settings, you create the WAP encryption key and use this key to configure the wireless card in your computer.
WEP is not a very strong encryption key compared with WAP and WAP2, I suggest you use WAP2 if possible. You can create the encryption key with alpha and or numeric keys, if you want to use words or phrases to create the encryption key then use the PASSPHRASE.

just go to add remove programs in control panel and remove it and install it again from the setup file
