| 1282430 | 2012-06-18 07:15:00 | Make sure the encryption method is supported on the laptop, i'm assuming this laptop has never connected before? Or was it previously working? If the 1st applies change the encryption to WPA or WEP PSK temporarily. You could also change password temporarily to somthing basic such as "pineapple" with no special charecters to see if it's not liking the password. | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
| 1282431 | 2012-06-18 07:28:00 | @Chill: WPA2-PSK with AES @The error Guy: it's always been connected to the router, set to connect automatically like everything else i managed to re-add the connection but it wanted a router reboot, which i did. on my laptop which manages to reconnect i get this message "network error: Windows has detected an IP address conflict Another computer on this network has the same IP address as this computer. Contact your network adminstrator for help resolving this issue. More details are available in the Windows System event log." |

| 1282432 | 2012-06-18 07:35:00 | Restart the other devices that are on the network, one of them has a stale DHCP lease that's conflicting... | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1282433 | 2012-06-18 07:37:00 | will do. | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 1282434 | 2012-06-18 07:44:00 | restarted all connected devices, no luck | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 1282435 | 2012-06-18 09:42:00 | where to from here???? | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 1282436 | 2012-06-18 09:54:00 | Find out what IP Address it has, and then find the matching device with the same IP Address elsewhere on the network | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1282437 | 2012-06-18 10:21:00 | according to the DHCP table in the router, there's an IP address for all the devices except the brother's laptop which would be named Name-PC | GameJunkie (72) | ||
