# Coo-coo-ca-choo (or goo whatever it is, apparently. You know.)
I'm sorry to TJ, but I really am at the end of my tether- does anyone know their way around wireless and sorting it all out?

# It's evil.
I've had my new laptop now for 4 and a half hours and it's not met the internet at all yet.

# bums
so your computer is recognising the router,
but you can't access the web?
(I helped save b3ta! mictoboy shitting in your cunt since, Wed 16 Apr 2008, 22:35, archived)
# THIS computer is.
But not the new laptop. It can see it's there, but won't connect to it.

# It may sound silly,
but you are using the WEp key or whatever?

# Yes.
I've been typing in WEP keys for four bastard hours.

WHY ARE THEY SO LONG?!

# Ha ha ha!
Are you using Windows? What router are you using?
(I helped save b3ta! Redsushi! Whoop! Whoop! Yes, that one!, Wed 16 Apr 2008, 22:40, archived)
# Yes, XP on both machines.
Tis a Netgear one, it says. It's white and rectangular and it's got a blue circle. Does that help?

# Ha ha ha!
Is there a chance that youre trying to correct to the wrong router? They are common NetGear ones....

# It can see that the wireless is there
but won't connect to it.

Obviously this computer will, but then it's wired to it. And the Wii's never had a problem with it.
(I helped save b3ta! Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Wed 16 Apr 2008, 22:33, archived)
# What OS?
And its always a good idea to have the same make ariel as the router.

# arial?
Laptop?

Eh?

XP. I know that much. XP Pro I think.

Lots of green ones in a line.

# Hmm
My intensive IT Technician training is coming in handy now.

Sounds like your router isnt allowing wireless connections. Wire your laptop to it, go into your browser and type 192.168.1.1, then fiddle with the settings in there.
(redruminc Likes stickmen, and stickmen like him., Wed 16 Apr 2008, 22:45, archived)
# But if it wasn't allowing wireless connections
wouldn't it block the wii?

I'm only asking now, I shall do that later but if I do that then this computer goes offline and I need to make sure I know what's going on.

Thanks so much for your help, by the way.

# You could try disabling the security on the router
and seeing if it'll let you connect then.
Also, look for driver updates.
(I helped save b3ta! Kamikaze Stoat £4.09, Wed 16 Apr 2008, 22:49, archived)
# Right.
I shall try that a bit later then. For a second though, I'm going to veg on here and be Captain Wow, internet cowbag and not Captain Wow, Shittest IT Tech Ever.

# Hmm
Bit of misreading there (once again the IT Training) thats intresting is that.

Have you tried turning it off and on again? *shifty eyes*
