Hi guys,
Basically I've come home for the weekend and our wireless connection isn't working.
We have one main PC (my one) which is using a wired connection. There is one other PC using the wireless connection. I thought it might have just been this PC but I've tried my laptop as well which is giving the same message.
When you are in the "Connect to a network" section, our home network shows up however there's a red X where the signal strength should be. It says "The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network."
When I tried to diagnose the problem it said "Incorrect Security Type". Currently the security type is set to "No Authentication(Open)" and the encryption type is set to WEP. I've in putted the network security key but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
I've tried basic stuff like rebooting the router (I used to work on a helpdesk, this ALWAYS seemed to work :-( ) and the laptop but that failed. I've googled it but to be honest it was a bit greek to me :-\
The router was provided by our ISP. Do ye think this is more a problem for them rather than something I'd be able to fix myself?? Any help is appreciated!
