Why can't I get my wireless working?
4 Answers
Hi all,
My desktop computer was until recently happily working and connecting to my NEtgear wireless router. It then stopped playing which I thought might be the transmitter playing up. I got hold of another, a Zyxel, and set it up and after unistalling the Belkin configuration controller it seemed to work. Unfortunately it has stopped again. It seems that the wireless network is found and connected but the computer is only transmitting info packets and not receiving. Additionally it seems to want the WEP code every time to connect. I think this is to do with the DNS address mularkey but cannot remember how to fix it. I have a Zyxel dongle, a BElkin Dongle, connect to a Netgear router and my ISP is AOl. Any ideas from anyone?

Nothing to do with DNS
If its asking for the WEP code then thats your problem.
Remove the profile for your wireless connection totally then reconnect and give it the correct wep code and it should work.
how to remove a profile is explained here

I am using wireless from a desktop in a small box room, the router is next to my phone line and I have not moved it. Are you suggesting that I disconnect, uninstall the wirelss components and then add the desktop to my network again? Seems like a plan although I did have some issues adding my kids computers to the net which hopefully wont re-occur. Thanks for your help Chuck.
