Thanks for the help Grinler, your a good guy. On the Modem computer, I went and opend up the 2wire monitor, and messed around in there, and found out that there is a default encryption key already set. The number was on the bottom of the friggin modem. But, even if I had known that I wouldnt be connected without your help with the TCP/IP thing, thanks a million. |

I got a new problem, involving my network, again. I just figured it would be apporpiate to post it in here where I have already explained my curent situation.
Any way about a week ago my brother mesed up his comp and it wouldnt boot and I re-installed Windows. On that same, I think around the time my brothers computer went down (BTY he is using wireless G). My other brothers computer disconnected (He is using a phonline UPS Network Adapter). Then later on none of the phones worked, but i was still connected. Then my dad messed with some stuff, and I messed with some stuff (I disabled the DNS Client on all comps, [Dont ask why, cuz I dunno]). My dad took out a splitter, that direct one line to the phone, and another to the PC. Then his comp started to work, but it seemed as soon as his connected mine disconected. I did evething I could and it wouldnt connect. It didnt say that a network plug was disconnected, but none of my programs could connect. So I later came upon LSP Fix, and I used it, full well knowing that it would probably mess my comp up (I deleted TCP/IP), and sure enought it made matters worse. So I used This Guide, to resinstall it. Only problem is that I didnt find the Wisock in al the same place, and I dont have a "communications" componet to check or uncheck. So when the time came to recheck "Communications", I just picked Networking Services, and I got my TCP/IP Protocol back, but there is still the same problem as before. Then the other day, i went to it puttin the spiltter back in would have any effect, and his disconnected, So I took it out. Except his didnt connect again. So he gave up and bought a USB Wireless G and it connected without a problem. Yet mine still wont work. Any Suggestions? |

I decided to do a fresh install of windows, and it worked. I think the problem was in the first place is mainly because I couldnt install drivers for my modem, because it was previously configured for wireless, but it worked anyway. Now that windows is fresh, I was able to install drivers. So now all connections are working again.
