HI Andy. Didn't see this message before responding to your previous one, so well done for logging in. Use the preshared key you've already set up and connect your netbook, there should no longer be an issue. ----- Original Message ----- From: ANDY COLLINS To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 6:53 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Adding my netbook to my network Peter, Many thanks, Admin did the trick for the user name, wonderful <smiile> So, I can now see the settings for my Netgear, amongst the wireless settings, I have the box checked that says: WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) I can also see what I have written for the network key; is this all I'll need for connecting the netbook to this network, or is there more. guys, this is great help - Andy Thanks ----- Original Message ----- From: ANDY COLLINS To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, January 05, 2009 2:58 PM Subject: [access-uk] Adding my netbook to my network Hi all - Please bear with me as I feel like I'm in the deep end again :) When I get my Netbook, I want it to work wirelessly on the same network as my laptop. My current set up has been to have my now defunct desc top, wired via ethernet to my Netgeergb 834 router, and my laptop connected wirelessly. When I was setting this up, I used the CD that came with the Netgeer, and it placed a short cut on the desk top of the hard wired PC, that I could click on to see the router settings, including pass key etc. Now that I've lost access to the PC, and only have my laptop working, I'm not sure what to do to get the netbook working wirelessly. Will I need the passkey that I created when installing the Netgeer threw the Ethernet cable to the PC? If so, I am unable to retrieve it because the PC has died; does this mean I need to start again, and install the Netgeer's software from the cd, on to my laptop? I hope this isn't too fuzzy <smile> Andy
