Network keys & File sharing

aiconnell · 12-29-2005, 01:00 PM

I am currently using a Belkin Wireless Router. The only problem is sometimers my laptop doesn't connect to the network because the network is insecure. It says I need to create a network key. Also, I am having trouble with file and printer sharing. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance

Never heard of that b4...If you want to be insecure then DAMN IT you should be!

But anyways, go into your routers config page using your browswer (it's probably somethin like 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1...something similar to that) and find the setting for wireless security or Encryption, somethin like that (sorry i dont have your kind of router, dont know what its like). Set a network key, write it down, and for every WIRELESS computer, use that network key to connect.
