    Gah - No wireless

    Setting up the Parents-in-Law laptop. Damn thing refuses to connect to my wireless network. It can see it, asks for the password and then balks with a password mismatch. (Tried several times)
    I've directly connected to a spare port but it's very annoying. Any good ideas why it won't connect ?
    All systems are W7-64 (my w&-32 andf ipod have no probs connecting...)
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    What encryption is the wireless network using? If it's using WPA2 try dropping it down to WPA or as a test disable it completely.

    Updating drivers and firmware can help too, I had the exact same problem at my parents house but a firmware update to their router sorted it.

    Re: Gah - No wireless

    Make sure (if its XP) that u have sp3 so u can use WPA, a couple of old installations Ive worked on recently didnt work until Id done that. Defaulted to WEP.
    Cheers, David
