David, can you turn security off, just to make sure you can actually connect. You can turn  it back on later.
Ted
There's no place like 127.0.0.1

David

0x30786a657 and so on

I tried entering these on the laptop no joy

Do you mean firewall Ted

I just disabled the WEP and got connected to the router but not the net

What happens if you change the router from WEP to WPA?

I did mean the wireless security but you could try the firewall as well.

You really should be using WPA, rather than WEP, David, and if the router and laptop are not using the same type of security, it won't work.

If I reset the router will this allow a new password to be entered ?
And will I need to reconfigure to the net ?

Fresh install of disc ?

It should save some of my time thats for sure  ;D

Yes, yes, no need for a disc, just log in to the router from your browser.

Ok that fixed the password issue  :hewho: but the laptop although connected is showing that the PC is connected to the router but has no access to the internet .

Better check the obvious first I guess  :whistle:
