Bloody Wireless Networking Again

platypus · 11 Nov 2009 at 21:44

I just dont get on with wireless.

I woke my laptop up from hibernation to find that all of a sudden it couldn't get an IP address from my router, a diagnosis later, and according to Vista: "The wireless network security key is not correct."

Ok, what? Firstly, all I'd done was to turn my laptop on from hibernation, which I've done countless times, and it's always reconnected within seconds.

Secondly, the key I'm using is of course correct, and it's working for my other computers...Getting extremely frustrated with this..

start again, delete all settings for that network connection,

it gets quirt hard to check every setting when some of them are invisible

I did that, deleted the connection, removed the network adapter, reinstalled it, added the connection, still getting that same error message.

Have you reset the router back to factory settings? Usually a neddle button on the back. That way you can start again.

Are you using 3rd party wireless software? Try the Windows built in one, if so.
