You won't have damaged the adapter by overclocking. ;) Windows might have stored somethinbg to confuse itself, however, if the memory couldn't quite keep up with the increased speed. ;) If a proper reinstallation of the wireless card doesn't work, try a "repair" of Windows. |

Check to see if any firewalls you have may be turned on, if they are turn them off that way they are not stopping the signal. If that doesn't work download Dial a Fix (wiki.djlizard.net) WARNING - Use it at your own risk. I had a network sharing problem the other day, this fixed it along with a few other problems - the computer is like new again. Read the guff on the site first. Make a restore point BEFORE running this. |

| 589558 | 2007-09-10 06:59:00 | Just thought - has the router got the SSID turned off so it can't be seen (Security reasons) To check look at any of the family's PC's that can access the router and see if its visable in the wireless - it will be called what ever you named it at setup. If it is turned off, enter the setting via another PC and make it visable again. |

When setting up a network usually all security is turned off, that way nothing is stopping connections - once every thing is connected then security is turned back on The SSID is the Identity of your network - when you scan for wireless networks you may locate several in range so you know which one is yours. When you Hide the SSID the network is still there, just not visable. Hence look from a PC that is working OK on the wireless and see if its visable. To do this double click in the task bar on the wireless connection icon - near the clock, and open wireless connections, if its not there but the PC is connecting to the Internet you need to make it visable. Normally you would type in the router address Eg: 192.168.1.1 I don't know what yours is but to find out go to a PC that is working, click on start type in ipconfig tehn you will see default gateway - thats the routers address. go into the wireless settings and see if the SSID is hidden. That dial-a -fix is a selection of MS programs all rolled into one, it repairs many faults like updates not working, shared foldrs not sharing and many other problems - maybe even your network conenction not working. BUT as it reads in the site - use at your own risk and make a restore point before running, it does change a lot of setting. [Quote] sorry for the noob question - its not a noob question, people who ask get answers, people who dont ask when they dont understand can be look like fools. Good on you for asking:thumbs: |

When you type your ip address in it asks for the password, if you haven't set it up what is it? I remember me and my mate were opening a port, and we went there and he said if you havnt set it up its your isp? last thing, do i use that dial-a-fix on the computer with working internet, or the one in my room? thanks =D Give this a try www.networkmagic.com thanks, trying it now |

| 589563 | 2007-09-11 03:17:00 | Your password is for the router, and depending on the make of the router depends on the password. Different makes use different standard passwords. What Make and model is your wireless router. ? Is the Wireless router visable from your sisters PC ? ( The SSID - identity) If you try the dial a fix use it on YOUR pc, NOT the ones that are working correctly. Don't fix what s not broken as the old saying goes. |
