802.11g. We're assuming the laptop is using 802.11g, since you did say =
=3D
=3D3D
it is connecting to the router. That's what the Linksys does, and that's =
=3D
=3D3D
what you need the laptop to do (it could actually be 802.11b as well, =
=3D
=3D3D
which is much slower). Actually, you say its showing as connected with a =
=3D
=3D3D
very good signal strength. But, we want to make sure that you are indeed =
=3D
=3D3D
connecting to your own network as opposed to a neighbor's network. =3D3D
Normally, you look for the SSID on the linksys and the SSID on the =3D3D
wireless card on your laptop.
=3D3D20
On the laptop, when you go click on that wireless connection on the =
=3D3D
bottom right, it should bring up a window, which I believe you verified =
=3D
=3D3D
as coming up. Somewhere in there you should be able to click something =
=3D
=3D3D
to see the properties of that connection. I don't use wireless so I =
=3D3D
cannot walk you through exactly on this one, but I know that you can =
=3D3D
highlight the connection and click somewhere to view the properties. In =
=3D
=3D3D
those properties, you will see the SSID and channel it is connecting to. =
=3D
=3D3D
I'm not too concerned about the channel, but we want the SSID if you can =
=3D
=3D3D
find that. If not, we will assume you are on the right network. =3D3D
Although, I hate to assume.
WINDOW- properties:
ok - unkder wireless networks properties, I click on linsksys and =3D3D
properties.=3D3D20
I get a box - association tab - says network name (SSID): it has linksys =
=3D
=3D3D
there, but it is gray'd out.=3D3D20
network authentication is open
data encryption is disabled.=3D3D20
interestting - if I look at choose a wireless network, it says linksys - =
=3D
=3D3D
connected, unsecured wireless network.=3D3D20
under that is amy - secured, and default, unsecured.=3D3D20
wondering if amy is my neighbor... we used to pick up pete's system, but =
=3D
=3D3D
never amy's.=3D3D20
=3D3D20
Regarding the other little screen with the red X that says LOCAL AREA =
=3D
=3D3D
CONNECT - A NETWORK CABLE IS UNPLUGGED. you can ignore it. This should =
=3D
=3D3D
be your wired Ethernet port on your system.
=3D3D20
You say you get the password screen when you go to http://192.168.1.1 =
=3D
=3D3D
<http://192.168.1.1/> . That's good, cause it says you can access the =
=3D
=3D3D
router. Now, you need to go into the settings. By default, the linksys =
=3D
=3D3D
password I believe is "admin" without the quotes. Leave the login name =
=3D
=3D3D
blank, and type in admin for the pass. If that doesn't work, type in =
=3D3D
"admin" for both the login and the pass. Someone else with a Linksys =
=3D3D
should be able to verify what the default it.
ADMIN WORKED
=3D3D20
Whatever it is, change that default. Never keep the default pass. Just =
=3D
=3D3D
as you can get on, someone on the outside can get in, use the default =
=3D
=3D3D
pass, and then change the pass on you.
=3D3D20
Anyways. if you get into the router, look somewhere in there at one of =
=3D
=3D3D
the settings tab. I don't have a Linksys, so I am going off the top of =
=3D
=3D3D
my head here. But, it may be a tab called SETTINGS or STATUS or ADMIN. =
=3D
=3D3D
Point is, you are looking for a setting called SSID. When you find it, =
=3D
=3D3D
tell me what it is, and is it the same as the SSID the laptop is =3D3D
connecting to.
under wireless, it says
wireless network name (SSID) linksys
wireless SSID broadcast: enable or disable - it says enable.=3D3D20
Router says - router name SVEASOFT -=3D3D20
this is all on the laptop -=3D3D20
Are we gaining on it? or am I a hopeless cause!! <grin>

=3D3D20
Alrighty... now we're getting somewhere. So, the laptop does not seem to =
=3D
=3D3D
be accessing the network.
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
We need to check if the wireless connection is, well, connecting.
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
Let's answer a few questions:
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
1. The laptop uses 802.11g, right?
huh? <grin>
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
2. With the wireless connection on the laptop, there should be some sort =
=3D
=3D3D
of monitor on the bottom right for the wireless. If you hover over it or =
=3D
=3D3D
open it, somewhere on there should says CONNECTED or DISCONNECTED. Can =
=3D
=3D3D
you verify that it says CONNECTED?
I have:
Wireless network connection is now connected
connected to Linksys
signal strength very good
=3D3D20
I also have something that says - windows is currently managing this =
=3D
=3D3D
wireless device (which probably has nothing to do with it)
=3D3D20
BUT
I also have 2 little screens pictures with a red X that says:Local area =
=3D
=3D3D
Connection - a network cable is unplugged.=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
3. Checking in the same spot as #3, if it says connected, it should tell =
=3D
=3D3D
you what SSID it is connected to. What is the SSID name given?
=3D3D20
not sure about this????
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
4. At this point, with the laptop, can you access the internet?
=3D3D20
I get online fine. I don't check email with the laptop so I don't know =
=3D
=3D3D
about that. but I can get to web sites and AIM works.=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
5. Using the laptop, can you access the router? How would you know. =
=3D3D
simple. open your web browser on the laptop (IE or any other) and see if =
=3D
=3D3D
you can access the router settings. If you can access the settings, then =
=3D
=3D3D
you're at least connecting to the router. If you cannot access the =3D3D
router settings, then you are not even connecting to the router. To =
=3D3D
access the router settings on a Linksys, you should type in the browser =
=3D
=3D3D
http://192.168.1.1 <http://192.168.1.1/>=3D3D20
It asks for a password...???
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
6. Assuming you can access the router settings, look somewhere in there =
=3D
=3D3D
at one of the settings tab. I don't have a Linksys, so I am going off =
=3D
=3D3D
the top of my head here. But, it may be a tab called SETTINGS or STATUS =
=3D
=3D3D
or ADMIN. Point is, you are looking for a setting called SSID. When you =
=3D
=3D3D
find it, tell me what it is, and is it the same as the SSID the laptop =
=3D
=3D3D
is connecting to.
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
7. And, last important, are you using Cable or DSL?

=3D3D20

Ok. back to the drawing board.
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
Here's what I have. You have a workgroup name of SCHFAM. Now. you've =
=3D3D
made sure that BOTH the desktop (cris-main-9-04) and the laptop =3D3D
(crislaptop) have the exact same workgroup name, right? Assuming that's =
=3D
=3D3D
correct, we can move to the next step.
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
The desktop is XP Home. So, that's already set up as using 'simple file =
=3D
=3D3D
sharing', as that's the only way XP Home can be set.
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
How about the laptop? Make sure 'simple file sharing' is enabled. Open =
=3D
=3D3D
MY COMPUTER. Go to TOOLS > FOLDER OPTIONS. Click on the VIEW tab. In the =
=3D
=3D3D
bottom pane, scroll all the way to the bottom. If XP Media Ed is the =
=3D3D
same as the Pro version, the last option at the bottom should say USE =
=3D
=3D3D
SIMPLE FILE SHARING (RECOMMENDED). Make sure that's checked. If the =
=3D3D
option is not there, let me know.
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
Ok. Once you have that all set, shut down BOTH computers. Make sure they =
=3D
=3D3D
are both off at the same time. Turn the first computer on, the desktop, =
=3D
=3D3D
and let it boot up all the way. After its completely booted, move onto =
=3D
=3D3D
the laptop and start that one up. Same thing, wait for it to boot all =
=3D
=3D3D
the way through.
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
=3D3D20
Now. on each computer. open up MY COMPUTER again. On the left side, =
=3D3D
under OTHER PLACES, you should see MY NETWORK PLACES. Select that. =3D3D
Doesn't have to be done at the same time on each computer. You're just =
=3D
=3D3D
checking something, but you need to check on both computers. Anyway. =
=3D3D
once you're in MY NETWORK PLACES, on the left side, click on VIEW =3D3D
WORKGROUP COMPUTERS. When you do that, you should see both computers =
=3D3D
(the computer you're currently on, and the other computer). Check and =
=3D
=3D3D
let me know if both computers are listed. After you respond to this one, =
=3D
=3D3D
we can continue.
