Hi Basil,

Good work there in getting them connected. I doubt that your laptop which is giving problems is not accepting the security settings which you created.

Go to Network connections--> properties--> wireless networks---> select your network in preferred networks--->properties which is below that---> now make sure that Network authentication and Data encryption are correct

For example if you kept security as WEP on Netgear here Network authentication is OPEN and Data encryption is WEP
if the security on netgear is WPA you can select accordingly from drop down list of network authentication

Any doubts buzz back :thumbsup:

Well It seems that when I remove the security in the Netgear Access point and refresh /reboot I get my IP and Mac Address for all three computers

I can now open up the browser and get online and download my Window Updates. I've gone back to activate the security in the Netgear access panel ,I can't get online even after I typed in my password ...strange....plus I still need to go to the wireless Network Connection Statrus tab and click connect...but I still get get online.

don't know

Basil,

Sounds like you got it mostly worked out. Not sure about what you mean by activating security in the Netgear access panel (I have a D-Link so my menus are a bit different). Are you saying you can't log back into your router but all your computers are connecting fine?

cheers,

Your gonna laugh.

I clicked on the wizard in the Netgear access point (http://192.168.0.1) on my desk top computer just for the heck of it and it renewed my PPOP info...even though it stated it was all there. I then set up my WPA-PSK protection and typed in password. Went to view wireless networks tab on notebook computer...enter my password and this time everything is working.

Go figure ...I'm just glad I have a secure network and everything is working.

It was just luck ....that renewed my PPOP info ....even though it was already there.

Next.... I have to figure out how to put the file sharing network functions back on the newly cleanup notebook so I access the other two computers

Thanks everyone! :thumbsup:

Basil
