My husband's computer bit the dust the other day. We got him a new one and I'm just now getting around to setting it up. I know my password to log onto the wireless network. It accepts it as the right password for the network. But it still I can not get online. I'm about to toss the new computer out the window! Help!
It keeps asking me to verify the security key -- how do I do that?
I get to a screen where I type in my network password. It tells me if I type the wrong password in, so I know the password is correct. It tells me what type of incryption it is and then there is a pull-down for Key Index (1-4)
It also says that Wireless Network connection does not have a valid IP Configuration.
Now, i'm on my laptop, right next to his. I know I'm on the right network and right incryption type. What else am I doing wrong?
And next week's fun.... putting in a new router. Maybe you should give me hints for that one now :rolleyes:
