I recently bought a Linksys 2.4 GHz Wireless N router. I hooked it up to my desktop and it works fine (slightly slower than when the PC was hooked directly to the model, but that's another story).
I set it up to work wirelessly with my laptop, but that's where the problem is. I renamed the network to something I was familiar with like the installation told me to, and I set the password key. When I tell my laptop to view available networks in range I can see the network, and it has full bars, but when I click on it and try to connect it says it is unable to connect.
I have used the laptop to connect wirelessly before plenty of times, on a number of different networks. It's a Compaq computer, maybe 2-3 years old, running XP.
Any settings or configurations I should try to change? The booklet that came with the router told me how to connect to the desktop, which I did, but it didn't say much more.
Thanks!How to connect laptop to a linksys wireless router?
The problem you have generally is because the network name is already set in the ';preferred'; networks and the security key does not match.
The fix is to remove that network name from the list of wireless networks, then reconnect to it! You system will then ask for the key and you can setup the correct one.
IN XP Open the view wireless networks panel, click on advanced settings, then in the network panel click on the
Wireless networks tab..Just remove the network SSID from the list.
Then renew the view available networks and reconnect.
If you set a WPA setting you may have to change to WEP..if your laptop card does not support WPA some older cards do not support the newer security settings!How to connect laptop to a linksys wireless router?
Make sure you are putting in the WEP or password key.
The WEP is used to keep other people from using your connection so make sure you are putting that in right.
Hope this helps.
Are you positive you have ADMIN rights? Also are you using one of those wireless utilities that come with so many laptops these days
did you install the wireless router and modem and service provider into your laptop?you can run a cable [10/100] hooked to your router and to your desktop and run wireless to other units.try setting up with no key first and make sure your settinngs are the same on all units.

Is critical thinking the key to curing global warming denialism?
Jonathan Abrams, a right-wing libertarian and contributor to a general skeptic blog, describes how he came to recently support the scientific consensus on global warming. What I notice is his skepticism faded when he started to critically analyze the skeptical arguments.
http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs…
Before any discussion of global warming (or climate change if you prefer) can begin, one unfortunately is expected to state up front if they accept it or are a skeptic. So my disclosure is that I currently accept anthropogenic (i.e. human caused) Global Warming (AGW) as a scientific fact, despite considering myself a 'skeptic' in general. I wasn't born believing that AGW is real though. When I first heard of AGW years ago, it was through the mainstream media. I got the impression from the media that there was a strong legitimate debate about the veracity of AGW. At first I did not know what to believe, but suspected that humans weren't the cause of global warming, if it was happening at all. I never much liked the environmentalism movement and was therefore skeptical of all their claims, whether they made sense or were hyperbolic. As I got more involved with the skeptical community, I learned which sources were trustworthy and which were less so on various scientific issues. I also learned about the non-rational psychological processes that can lead people to believe or not believe certain ideas. But honestly, I do not know exactly when, how, or why my views changed, but it's interesting to briefly look back and examine why I did not accept AGW, and perhaps it can give us some clues as to why others still don't.
I find that most people that are skeptical of global warming do not have good rational reasons for their skepticism. According to a recent article in my local paper (originally from Agence France-Presse), people do not accept global warming because it would negatively impact their desire to consume. I think this theory may help explain some AGW doubt. People do not want to feel guilty about their habits. In order to assuage guilt, we either attempt to fix the cause of the guilt, which takes effort, or we deny that the problem exists, which is much easier. This denial is not done purposefully, it is done subconsciously. Through psychological factors such as cognitive dissonance, our brain decides for us what we should believe, on an instinctual level. We don't actively choose what to believe, we are influenced in many ways and our beliefs are then formed. Rational judgement of scientific evidence is only one of these influences on our beliefs. In fact, for the case of AGW, I'd even argue that the scientific evidence plays an even smaller part in someone's acceptance. The more complex a topic is, the harder it is to rationally judge the scientific evidence, therefore we use other methods to subconsciously decide what to believe. Before someone can confidently say they accept or don't accept AGW for rational reasons, they must first honestly admit that they have seen, and understand, the relevant scientific evidence. But most people, myself included, can be intimidated by all the climate models, core samples, and temperature charts that are tossed around. Because of this intimidation, we turn to other non-rational belief influences.
I have not yet seen Al Gore's Nobel prize winning film ';An Inconvenient Truth';. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because I was a AGW skeptic when it came out and now that I accept AGW I don't feel the need to go rent it. Regardless, I think the title is brilliant. It perfectly sums up why I think people have trouble accepting AGW. AGW truly is an inconvenience. If it were true, not only would we have to consume less, but more importantly it can shake our very core beliefs. The sorts of beliefs that AGW would trouble include political/economic and religious beliefs. I won't judge these core beliefs that people have, but they are key to understanding why AGW is doubted. Just as a religious world view could cause someone to not accept evolution, it too can make them less likely to accept AGW. One of these religious views holds that nature exists for humanity's benefit, and therefore, is at our whim and cannot pose danger to us.
AGW poses a direct threat to some forms libertarianism and right-wing capitalism. I think that this may have played a strong role in my personal AGW skepticism, and perhaps in other libertarians. As I discussed in a previous blog post, values can determine whether someone considers themselves a libertarian, liberal, conservative, etc. One important value of libertarianism is the desire for smaller government. This rubs up against the problem of AGW. If the problem of AGW is real, and if we have any hope of solving it, we would most likely require development of gross regulations from governments. This is exactly what is going on right now in Copenhagen. Those who fIs critical thinking the key to curing global warming denialism?
Kudos for Abrahms for having what it takes to admit he was wrong. Unfortunately, I don't think he's typical of the denier crowd. They are sticks-in-the-mud and proud of it. I'm not very tolerant of willful ignorance when it impacts my life in a negative fashion.
I didn't see Gore's movie til late in the game, but I do recommend you see it so you know what all the fuss is about. I came away impressed, overall.
I remember encountering a libertarian in junior college years and years ago, and listening patiently to his passionate appeal to join him in his belief system. But by the time he'd finished, I remember thinking very clearly that this system of belief was flawed and not for me. Your last full paragraph is a powerful one, worthy of reading over again and reflecting on it, no matter where you stand.Is critical thinking the key to curing global warming denialism?
No common sense is.
YES
Yeah.
As a ';critical thinker'; I'm inclined to ask the following regarding a scientific conclusion:
Where is your original data?
How was it collected?
Is there other data that you didn't incorporate? Why?
Did you adjust the original data? If so, did you document why?
And the last question: Why, in the name of all that is sacred, would you NOT provide all of that in order to showcase your findings in the brightest light?
No, critical thinking is the key to extricating the masses of brainwashed dupes from the Warmist cult.
Wow. In his whole rant, the author didn't offer up an ounce of scientific proof. Instead offering up his opinion, which is what bloggers do. And the blogger comes from that so conservative part of the country, San Francisco.
Yes. It is the flat out refusal to read the science because they don't like the economics.
Total Bull.
Typical liberal. No facts. Just feelings. He based his decision on what?
I think the cure will come once we have some actual science applied to the investigation. Actual science isn't about hiding data or black box computer models generating an artificial consensus.
The truth will eventually be known. But I don't think we know it now. That is why you have true believers and deniers because we don't have knowers.
Chicken little is right this time.THE SKY IS FALLING.Take it from a guy that been around for 73 years,change is coming,and I don't mean Obama's change.I've been an outdoors man 60 of my 73 years,and have seen many species disappear.A big change is coming.Will it be as drastic as the tree huggers claim? I don't know,and probably won't be around to find out.
Yes, but the key is getting deniers to think critically in the first place. Critical thought is exactly what denial prevents.
Abrams is willing to keep an open mind, examine his own biases, and prevent them from ultimately biasing his conclusions. That's the sign of a true skeptic. But as we all know, deniers aren't skeptics, as their answers to this question make painfully obvious. Calling him a liberal, claiming he's from San Francisco which *obviously* makes him delusional about AGW, etc.
Alas, no.
You can't reason people out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. Abrams is a rare exception.
A very good point. I would agree that critical thinking is always important, whether you are sceptical on AGW or accepting. It doesn't anyone to just parrot a line without every wanting to change your mind.
You should be aware, though, that the website you refer to is the product of a massive corporate PR firm with a very partial agenda - it is NOT an impartial forum . Here's what Dr Richard Lindzen, professor of meteorology at MIT, says about them:
Environmental Media Services (a project of Fenton Communications, a large public relations firm serving left wing and environmental causes; they are responsible for the alar scare as well as Cindy Sheehan’s anti-war campaign.) created a website, realclimate.org, as an ‘authoritative’ source for the ‘truth’ about climate. This time, real scientists who were also environmental activists, were recruited to organize this web site and ‘discredit’ any science or scientist that questioned catastrophic anthropogenic global warming. The web site serves primarily as a support group for believers in catastrophe, constantly reassuring them that there is no reason to reduce their worrying.';
There are those who will try and claim that a professor of meteorology at the world's leading science university is somehow not in touch with real climate science. Laugh at these people. Point at them and laugh.
If a drunk walked up to me and asked me for money so he could get something to eat I would be skeptical because he's drunk and I know he's going to go out and buy more alchohol.
When AGW alarmist tell me we need money to stop global warming because prostitution in the Philippines is on the rise I'm even more skeptical because I know for a fact prostitution has nothing to do with global warming. There's a reason it's called the worlds oldest profession, and it has nothing to do with global warming.
When an AGW alarmist tells me we need money to stop global warming and the people of Darfur are suffering because we are causing droughts I'm skeptical because I know for a fact that region has suffered droughts for centuries and if you simply take a look at a map it's on the edge of a desert! Besides the fact that they suffer because of a corrupt government that doesn't support their own people with an infrastructure that can sustain the population, and because of religious and tribal feuds.
When AGW alarmist tell me we need money to stop global warming because the Ganges delta is flooding, people living at sea level on atolls are in danger, next hurricane season.. well the next one ... if not this one for sure the next hurricane season is going to be really bad, yes, I'm skeptical.
When common sense makes it's way into the AGW alarmist arguments they might gain some ground. When they start presenting scientific evidence, facts and data instead of preaching how it's obvious that it's CO2 when it's not, I'm so tired of being linked to sites that simply come to the conclusion without showing any evidence and when I am shown evidence I find out it's being modified on the upside to make it appear that it's unprecedented to show the biggest effect. Previous upsides are being eliminated, I'm told about a consensus that only exist among those who are being payed to prove that CO2 is the cause, when I've been shown by scientist reasonable and plausible explanations to the contrary, but I'm then told that those scientist are the stupid ones.
No, my skepticism has nothing to do with the lack of critical thinking.thinning hair free spyware remover

So I was in the computer lab, and I logged onto the administrator's account because I lost my account's password in school... And I was searching up on how to change my home computers 2007 Office key, then the network manager came in to our class and called me out, he asked me why I was searching for Office Keys, I said I'm going to use one for home, and then he said how did I find out the administrator account, I said I got it from my friend who went to summer school somewhere else and got it... Do you think i might get expelled or suspended?Come and help me please!?
Either it depends on how they looked and acted towards you I almost think you won't get in that much trouble. If so you go to a strict schoolCome and help me please!?

Animal Crossing: City Folk WiFi Question?
Hi, I have a wireless network, but its set up with MAC addresses.. No I will not change it to WEP keys setup. Its more secure the way I have it, and already set up with my 6 computers, Zunes, and Xbox.
SO My question is how do I have the WiFi on my Wii? I heard they don't sell those little USB WiFi connectors they use to have for the DS. So what other way can I have WiFi on my Wii with out adding a WEP key?Animal Crossing: City Folk WiFi Question?
i think WEP is the only way, unless you can find a MAC input on the wii. sorry bro.hair treatment lost money what shall i do

How do I connect to my wireless secure router?
I have Linksys wrt54g. I went in to secure it using the Linksys website as a guide. Accessed my router page, clicked on wireless security and chose WEP from the drop menu, default transmit key = 1, entered a passphrase (ex. 1111111111), then clicked generate, then saved settings.
Ok, then on my laptop when I view wireless networks, next to my network name it says ';the settings on your computer don't match the settings necessary for this network'; or something to that effect. So I go into ';manage wireless networks';, I double click on my network and it brings up the wireless network properties and I click the security tab, I change it to ';shared'; then ';WEP';, under that I enter the same network key (1111111111), and key indes is set to ';1';. I click ok.
Now, I view the networks available, find mine, click it and connect, and it says there is a problem, or it will connect with limitations, or it won't do anything. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. What is funny too is that it doesn't ask me for the password. If I choose someone else's secured network and click connect, the first thing it does is ask me for the password. Why doesn't it do that with mine? Why won't it connect completely? I hope I have been detailed enough, thank you.How do I connect to my wireless secure router?
IF you ';Generate'; a passphrase from the letters you input, the phrase will not be what you entered. When you press ';generate'; it takes what you input and changes the letters to code. The CODE generated is what you need to enter on the laptop.
Log back into the router, write down the code listed in the (1) setting. Then go to your laptop and enter that code.
You should also be aware that wep is not really very secure WPA is a better setting, rather than have the router ';generate'; the pass phrase just enter one directly.. 15-20 characters will be a good length.. a mix of letters and numbers is the best for these passwords. If you directly enter the password you can then use the exact password for connection.How do I connect to my wireless secure router?
Pleaase check IP Address of you notebook
ensure that DNS is available or else
check your router settings of DHCP is on
if not work then
use WPA+TKIP wireless security option instead of using WEP
Tracy L has the answer.
I'm having the exact same problem with my Apple Time Capsule
The only solution that has solved it for now was not having any security on, which is what I definitely don't want but is the only way it connects fully.
I think it maybe in the encryption type (TKIP,AES etc) or possibly the security type (WPA, WPA2) am using and what was used to originally set it up with my other router and the Time Capsule uses WPA2.
But I'm still trying to solve it and will get back to you if you haven't found a solution..if you do find one would you please be able to let me know thanks.
i tell u very simple sol.
1..erase all IP and DNS and click on automatically get option.
2..go to modem(adsl) and make its settings on routing (not bridging,bridging means u have to dial from window) its process is to connect cable to modem n other end to ur pc LAN.
3..now connect same cable to router while other end is in pc LAN,and configure its security settings..select WPA2 option which is more secure and its key is not less hackable...then select TKIP and give it some pass phrase.
4..now connect modem with router and let it sync
5..connect to ur router and it shall connect.
6..if still have problem,press the lill button for factory restore of router and configure it again,the purpose of restoring is,to remove any disturbing settings.

Samsung wifi problems?
i have orange internet and a samsung S5560 phone and i cant get the wifi to work, when i connect it just says authentification failed or no responce from ap, what does this mean?
do i need to change all the settings or should they be right?
and is the network key just your password?
will someone tell me how to set up my wifi in simple terms :)Samsung wifi problems?
Probably you are entering an incorrect password. A secure Wi-Fi connection generally needs only the network key/password to access the network. Recheck the set password for the modem %26amp; type the password correctly using the appropriate case. Also check the signal strength %26amp; ensure that the 802.11b+g mode is selected.
do i need to change all the settings or should they be right?
and is the network key just your password?

PLEASE HELP. issues with wireless!!!..?
I have an airport, and lots of macs in the house. they, connect perfectly to the airport. however my one PC, a toshiba, when tries to connect cannot.. and an error message comes up that looks like this: The network password needs to be 40bits or 104bits depending on your network configuration. This can be entered as 5 or 13 ascii characters or 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters.
I have seen the other topics started about this here, at yahoo answers, but changing the WEP Key to hexadecimal and all that stuff makes NO SENSE TO ME.
Can some one please stupify this down to what I need to know, and HOW I do it , please help me fix this?!?!?!PLEASE HELP. issues with wireless!!!..?
it's IRRELEVANT whether your key requirement is hex or ascii. your toshiba will properly encode the WEP key no matter how you enter it.
what might be confusing you is you might have a manufacurer based wireless configurator instead of the stock microsoft ZERO configurator.
however, DO NOT enter a passphrase(password). that's different but rather the key itself. enter as the first key(or key #1)
also deselect the box which may state (key provided for automatically)PLEASE HELP. issues with wireless!!!..?
I think the best way to fix your problem, and make the network far more secure at the same time, is to switch from WEP encryption to WPA (WPA/PSK) encryption.
First, WEP encryption is very unsecure, and can be ';cracked'; by anyone with the right software tools in a matter of minutes (I've seen it done in under 5). This will allow others to gain access to your network, and also to ';intercept'; your transmissions, meaning they can see everything you do on the net.
Second, WPA encryption uses ';keys'; or ';passcodes'; of any length, which will remove your problem of needing 5 or 13 ASCII characters.
FYI - WPA is a much stronger and more secure alternative to WEP. I work in IT for one of Australia's largest banks, and they highly recommend switching to WPA encryption.
There's a guide on the O'Reilly Network here:

I STRONGLY suggest you switch to WPA using this guide, as WEP encryption is almost useless. As an example, here's a guide on how to crack 128-bit WEP in 60 seconds.

I hope you will heed this warning, as you're leaving yourself exposed to anyone that knows how to do a google search for crackining WEP-secured networks. They can see everything you do online, and can even perform an SSL main-in-the-middle attack to obtain your encrypted Internet banking details.
you need to find what the default gatway is
usually you type is a internet browser 192.168.0.1
that is most often the default
another is 192.168.1.1
