When I click on the link in Explorer it ask for a password and I have tried all possible password, should be the same as the wireless, cannot connect it. If I plug the external directly to the laptop it does connect...I have another laptop that connects no problem to it so can I retrieve somehow the password it uses?
It is looking for the password for your disk, not the wifi password. This is a common issue when people connect a disk to a network as the user name and password are not compatible. The easiest solution is to ensure that the password and user name on your disk are the same as the user name and password on your computer. If this does not work, then it may be that the user who created the files on your disk is not the same as the user who wants to access them. This is one of the security features on the later versions of windows. The users may be you in both cases, but if the user name is different, then you will have trouble getting access. It is a bit involved changing the security and permissions to get around this, so I suggest you find a friend who knows how to do this, and who can show you what you need to do. The easiest way is to ensure that all files are read and write accessible by "everyone" where "everyone" is a windows guest user.

Often the nets and subnets are NOT the same.. ie The Fixed connection often uses 192.168.0.1, 192.168.1.1, however sometimes the wifi is setup 10.1.1.1, or 10.0.0.1 etc, have you checked this? Esentially tho ya router is an "Acess Point" and ya Lappy etc is ya "Client" the links below has a lot of tutorials to help have a look. http://portforward.com/routers.htm http://portforward.com/guides.htm

this sounds like security problems , other people have experienced problems with vista but most have been able to resolve them.
whilst connected to your router using an ethernet cable open a browser windows and type in the rounter address these
are usually one of 2 most likely yours is
192.168.1.1
and typing password as "admin" and no user name. Use your password if you have changed it earlier 2
Go to wireless tab. 3. Go to wireless security sub-tab 4. If security mode is wpa or wpa2 note down passphrase/shared key, if security mode is WEP note down wep key number 1. This will be your network key
also check other.
On the Vista laptop with the connection
Start --> Network
Click on Network and Sharing Center
if It shows a red X between my network and the Internet.
click on the Customize link (below and right of the red X)
Under location type if it was set to Public. change it
to Private. Hit Next
At that point my whole network might go down, and
reset the router. (turned off and turned on)
After that my red X under network and sharing center
was gone. And my internet connection problem was gone.
I forgot to mention that before you shoul have turned
off all software firewalls and virus scanners. prior.
if that does not work when you are logged into the router page 192.168.1.1 check to see if their is an option to update the router software/firmware ,if their is no option then you may have to manually downlaod the firmware from linksys and update that way .
Hope this helps if not ask for clarification on anything your unsure of.

If you are on cable internet, you need to perform MAC Address Cloning. Access the router's setup page using your main PC, under SETUP tab, there's a sub-tab called MAC Address Clone. Enable that and click on "Clone My PC's MAC" then click on Save Settings. Power cycle the router and the modem. You should be online after that.

If the power light is blinking on the router , then it might not be working properly.
You will need to press the reset button on the back side of the router for 30 seconds. release it. unplug the power cable. plug it back in. wait for a minute and check if the power light is solid.
If not then try to reset the router again.
do the same thing and check if the power light is solid.
If the power light is solid then you will need to set up the router again.
If the power light is still blinking, then connect the computer to the router and check the IP address on the computer. If the IP address is 192.168.1.100 then try to open the set up page of the router and check the settings of the router.
