Wireless Connection Not Linking Up
 

Dear All, Its been a while since I visited and glad to find you are still here. I have a reoccuring problem (lol)... My daughters laptop has had a new harddrive and now I am trying to re-establish a wireless link through my Linksys WRT54G router. Her laptop is a Fujitzu/Siemens Amilo M5400. I had a lot of trouble the first time I tried to do this link up and by flook only did it connect and only with your help.

I've gone through the instructions for the router and my question is: on the wireless security tab it says its enabled. Do I have to disable it before I can get the wireless to to connect to the laptop? The laptop comes up with Wireless Connection 2 and there is the "old" wireless network name which asks for network key. I have put this in and the "new" wireless network name (changed under advance) and it still won't connect.

Best to disable the wireless on your router to make sure you get a connection, then setup wireless security again.

Bri_G - Thanks for that piece of advice, its now wireless connected. Now need to link up to internet (wireless) as its saying "page cannot be displayed" but it connects ok through the ethernet cable.
