Wireless Network Problem

ryan38 · 06-20-2009, 11:35 AM

Hey there

Been having some trouble with my laptop. I recently I got a wireless router set up on one of my pcs. I have another pc (my personal one) plus my laptop trying to use that network. My pc works fine and connects without a hitch, while my laptop keeps asking for credentials?

I have no idea what these credentials are and I've never had to input them on any other device using this wireless network. Is there a way to find out the credentials that I need?

Thanks for the reply

I did that, it prompts for the network credentials before allowing me to connect... I can't seem to get past that stage

What exactly is it asking for? User name & password? Network key?

Supply the following information please.

OS running on all affected systems
Make & models of all equipment (routers, network cards, modems).
What wireless encryption is in use? (WPA, WPA2, WEP, None)
What is your network name (SSID)?

Make sure you don't have 802.1x authentication enabled on the wireless link.
