Anyone know how to fix.... Data Frame Errors - Check WEP Settings

I did something to my laptop... and I have no idea how to fix this.

I re-loaded the software for my network card in my laptop... and I can't connect to my wireless router anymore.

Help Please!

 

using the software that came with the card, are you seeing the available wireless networks?

do you have WEP (wireless encyrption protocol) enabled?

 

Yes

Yes

Thanks Julius

 

Maybe this will help... then again... maybe it won't...

Under Wireless Network Connection Properties

There are two sub sections in this Tab.

Available networks and Preferred networks.

In Available networks it lists my network "XYZ" and NOT WEP is enabled.
In Prefered networks... "XYZ" is also there and WEP is enabled.

When I go to enable WEP in Available networks... an error screen pops up...

Huh?!?!?

 

First - try and re-enter your WEP password. If that doesn't work then:

1. Delete the current setup

2. Add the wireless setup to available networks

3. Re-enter the WEP

Or - get a Mac and never have to deal with that kind of cr@p again

 

Thanks lig I'll try this tonight

1. If I knew what the password was

2. I'm going to reinstall everything... If I can remember how!

3. Mac? Nah... I'm stubborn

 

The same thing just happened to my XP Pro laptop. All I needed to do was re-enter the WEP password. heh heh... I guess without the password you're SOL.

The re-install should do it.

GL!

 

apple is very convienient... i have an ibook.. just finds the network and connects on it own.. so easy to use, very user friendly
a lot easier than using the home pc..

hey g-s2k... if you cant get it with what was suggested earlier.. you can PM me and i can try and help you out.. i deal with comps a lot so i could prolly help you out if you wanted..

 

Thanks

I'm leaving work shortly... and I'll try to get that laptop running.

Try is the key work
