Security Enabled - Laptop Locked Out Of Wireless Network
Aug 4, 2011
My wife and I Security Enabled our wireless network several months ago.We recently moved, and after transferring Internet service, we realized we'd lost our passkey.My wife's laptop has, after one failed attempt to connect to the network, refused to even show the network as an available connection.We currently have the router set to broadcast SSID.We have restored factory settings on the router and completely revamped the security setup.We've removed all other networks in the area as optional connections on her computer.We also replaced the ethernet cord to my desktop because the old one started erratically disconnecting.Nothing's worked.My wife's computer is a Dell laptop using Windows Vista.
I am trying to connect to a Security-enabled wireless netowork. I have the key. My problem is that I can't seem to figure out how to enter it. When I try to connect I open the "view available networks"window. I see the network name and it shows a strong signal (all 5 green bars).
My Toshiba laptop running Vista as an operating connects just fine to the wireless network at my house. However, I will soon be house-sitting at a house that also has security-enabled wireless available. I connect just fine at my house, but whenever I put in the password at their house it says that that it cannot connect because of a timeout. I can't figure out what the problem is, because I recently went to the public library that has wifi and got on just fine. why in the world it will not connect to this specific wireless router??
I've been using the trial version of a product called Folder Lock on another computer than the one I'm using right now to type this message. I got a little too enthusiastic about locking away folders into Folder Lock on that other computer, and I think I locked away Folder Lock itself.In the past (before this problem developed), when I clicked a Folder Lock icon, it used to prompt me for the Folder Lock password, which I would then input, and then Folder Lock would open, and I could lock and unlock folders. But the problem is that now I don't get prompted for the Folder Lock password. I get a message (from Folder Lock) that says, roughly, "you may not have permissions to carry out that action." So even though I have the Folder Lock password, I can't open Folder Lock, because it won't prompt me for the password, and just says I don't have permissions.I also locked into Folder Lock my downloads folder on that computer, and apparently folders or icons that used to allow me to access the internet on that computer. I can no longer access internet from that computer.I'm wondering how I can get Folder Lock to prompt me for the password, so I can open Folder Lock. I would like to unlock all the folders I locked -- including if I locked Folder Lock itself! I locked away a lot of my important stuff. I wonder if I should do a system restore to a date before I installed Folder Lock, but I wonder if the system restore might fail to delete Folder Lock, because Folder Lock might prevent its own deletion. I have Folder Lock 7. I have Windows 7.
I have a computer through my old school and i still cant get into the main part of the computer to change my password etc; How do i unblock it?when i click it, it says; please contact system administration but i cant and they wont tell me.
We have a standard modem/wireless setup that has worked fine for years. Last month, my sister brought her laptop over and, for some unknown reason, choose "set up a connection or network" and unknowingly changed the setup to a security enabled network. I have no idea why she couldn't just log on without any problem. She has the same modem at her house, and I have no problem logging on at her house. Anyway, it now asks for a password, and she swears she never entered one. I can go online if I plug in an ethernet cord but that means my laptop can only go online at my desk. And I cannot use the internet features on my ipod touch. Is there a way to reset the modem back to a regular unsecured setup?
I had a custom device/computer on my network that was hacked from hong kong. It's one of those things where I seriously think the chinese have built a back door into it when they built it or something because everything was secured and monitored.The device runs it own OS or something like that I guess you could say. It can also run it in standalone mode broadcasting it's own signal. Once I figure this out I may not put it online anymore but thats besides the point right now. When it was hacked I'm pretty sure the port it uses to connect was changed from 80 to 591. When it runs in standalone mode I can connect to it but I am unable to actually access it's proprietary graphic network interface. It sends out UDP every few seconds or so and basically I was trying to search for some type of udp broadcast monitor and have tried using network tools such as netstat, port scanning, multicast, etc on all of the big three OS's because sometimes it seemed to finnicky what it wants to connect to. I've tried to let it connect back to my router again which it seems to do, but is then denied access and I think it may even have a trojan or somethng so I don't want it to that but if I have to to access it again I will.In standalone mode I've it usually trys to connect on 192...5 or 192...7 and I've tried to get through 591, 23, 80 etc. multiple times with no luck.
I cannot seem to get my laptop to work,it keeps stating Network Security Key. However,my daughters laptop is working fine. Where do I locate the network security key?
How do I find my network security key? I had to remove my Toshiba Laptop (Win 7 OS) from my home network because I kept having to troubleshoot in order to connect to the network. Then the troubleshooter would tell me that I had a cable unplugged (not true) and it had to reconfigure my wireless adapter every time. I am trying to get the laptop back in the network but I keep getting the message that the security key is mismatched. The one I have worked the first time, but not now.My wireless adapter for the laptop is Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC and when I check its properties the message is that this device is working properly.
I have just brought a brand new laptop which has WiFi init i have taken it across the road from my home to my brothers to get connection it shows the networks and signals but after putting in mt phase word and password it keeps asking me for a security network key i don't any clue where this is or how to obtain this. I would have thought because i have WiFi ill get connected straight away specially with the signals coming thru strong.
How do I find my network security key? I am trying to connect my "nooK" to my laptop, but it wants the password to my network. I thought I had it, but the nook won't accept it.
ive recently bought a tcl internet enabled tv. I have tried connecting it to the wireless network and it keeps giving me an error that the "connection failed due to timeout".
I recently entered the realm of wireless networking for my desktops and was able to connect my personal desktop successfully. Unfortunately, the other desktop I really need to make wireless is having difficulties. The computer never shows the message that a new device is discovered/installed. The adapter shows up under hardware devices and functioning properly but this is not the case. I installed the driver from the included CD but when I use Windows to troubleshoot, it says that the driver and adapter aren't working. When trying to set up a new network, I get a grayed-out wireless icon in the system tray and can't proceed. I disabled the firewall and antivirus so I could start over, uninstalling the driver, restarting and installing again.
Ever since I bought the E4200 months ago I had no wireless network between my laptops. pc's devices. I discovered now that I do have network (everything cool) when I disable NAT. That is all nice, but I don't have internet then.
My mum is running Windows 7 Home Premium on her laptop, with AVG Free Anti-Virus. She uses Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Cookies are enabled on all browsers.I'm running Ubuntu "Lucid Lynx" 10.04. I use Chromium and Firefox, occasionally Opera. Cookies are enabled on all browsers.I also have an iPad, which is running the latest software. Never had a problem with cookies before.My brothers use Facebook through Xbox. They can't log in either.My router settings are set to allow cookies, and according to my ISP, my internet is up and doing fine.Now, the issue ...My mum noticed a login loop when she tried to get into Facebook. Every time she tried to log in, it would just redirect her to the login screen. I tried the same thing to no avail. I can't log in to some other sites as well, such as Photobucket. I can't upload to tinypic either. However, as you may have noticed, I can log in to forums just fine - however, it only keeps me logged in for one session, even if I ask it to remember me.My neighbours don't seem to be having this issue - except for the neighbour that shares our internet. She can't log in to Facebook either. I thought it might have something to do with our IP, so I tried using the Tor/Vidalia proxy assistant to log in to Photobucket from a different server/location. It worked. So, we can log in to various websites via proxy, but not from our home IP.
I have a laptop that is running windows 7 premium and a desk top that is running xp pro. The laptop is connected to the internet but the desktop is not. I have them set up in a ethernet network through an RJ-45, and both are connected, but I can't seem to share the laptop's internet connection with the desk top. I've enabled internet sharing with the wireless network, but my desktop still cannot connect.
I set my router to allow my xbox360's mac address, not knowing that it would kick out all of my other devices. So now I can't access my own router and I need to reset it. How do I do that?E1200 series linksys router. I'm looking for an ethernet cable and my installation disk right now to see if I can connect with the cable and maybe use something on the disk if I have to.
I purchased a Linksys EA3500 about two months ago, brought it home and set it up with my DSL provider and everything was great, until sometime last week, and since then my download speeds have just plummeted to basically nothing. I did some troubleshooting but I cannot seem to find what the issue is. I have checked all the cables etc, and I know that it is definitely something with the router itself..My current Speedtest.net speeds are as follows (I am paying for a 5mb connection) with the EA3500.Ping of 15ms Download speed of .67mbps, Upload speed of .60mbps.When I remove the router and hook straight to the DSL modem I get the following results.Pink of 12ms Download speed of 4.89mbps, Upload speed of .60mbps
- I have tried to reset the router both by holding the reset button and through the configuration application. - I have enabled and disabled wireless to see if that was slowing things down - I have plugged in my old WRT54G and I get the 12ms, 4.89mbps,.60mbps results on it (so I know its the EA3500) - I tried putting the computer in the DMZ - I have changed the ports that the computer is plugged into - I have disabled and enabled IPV6 on both router and network card - Firmware version - 1.1.38.134141
I have installed a SumvisionSWV322P Wireless PCI Adapter in to my desktop and have configured it to run on my existing home network: I can connect no problem but after about 10 mins my whole desktop just locks up: The only way I can get out of this is by re-booting by turning the machine off completely by the on/off button. My OS is Windows XP Professional version 2002 SP3:
I have a Linksys wusb54gc, after downloading driver and install, system performance changed. Tried several fixes suggested at another site which failed Cannot delete (access denied) Trying to remove through control panel error "critical file missing" win xp os. Would like for this to work as it had on the computer it was originally purchased for. "gina.dll" interferes with the os.
I ran the firmware upgrade and hit the reset button for 30 seconds and everything went well until I went to restore my personal settings. When I went to the router page it asked for a user name and password but the old user name and password don't work so I am locked out and can't get to the restore page.
I have Wi-Fi on my smartphone and I want to set up another lap-top and it is asking for a security key, where do I find it ?I already have one lap-top set up !
