Hi, quick update... I am just having a quick look at things now. I am in manage wireless connections, where it should have signal strength it has a red cross and says, 'the settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network.' I am trying to enter the required information manually, but being a complete novice that I am I dont know what to input. What security type do I want??? What encryption type do I want????
just entered all the information required successfully, but it still isnt letting me connect wirelessly.
To recap, so far... I have tred to right click to enable wireless connection, it wanted me to connect manually, but that still didnt do it.
I know my security key, so that is not a problem.
It shows networks are available
It wont even try and connect
Hardware switch is on, computer well within range (5m)
No problem connecting playstation 3 to wireless network.
I think I have had a similar problem to this before, I just cant remember how I sorted it out. I think my laptop is setup so it doesnt automatically search and update IP addresses, so I have to manually input the corresponding IP address ( something like that anyway, like I said, I am absolutely awful with computers, they terrify me!!!!)
