if it requires a network key than more than often if you don't already know it, then you probably shouldn't be on the network. If you are authorized, you will need to contact the systems admin and ask for the key since it could any diff combinations as in 64WEP, 128WEP, wpa, tsk or whatever else they have for security on the wireless network.

well, that's an easy thing \nstart-run\ntype CMD and hit enter\nthen type\nipconfig / release\nipconfig / renew\nbut before that, make sure that you set your IP settings to DHCP\nfrom control panel- connections - wireless connection\nright click, properties, internet protocol TCP/IP\ndouble click it\nchose Obtain.... in both options\n\nEnjoy

In the wireless set up (install the software on your computer) there will be a lot of different options for your wireless network. One of them is encryption options. Select WAP, a name for the network and a password and you are in business. When you try to log on to your network it will prompt you for a "Key", this is the password, enter it and save the setting an you will be fine from there on out.\n\nBut I recommend you read the instructions very carefully.

You have to set a WEP key, and, through the configuration CD (there should be one) you enter it like you would a password for the given computer. Remember, you enter the encrypted key (after the encryption); not the one you entered to get the encrypted key.\n\nI mean, really, what would be the point to encryption if just ANYONE could access your wireless internet? The whole point is to keep people you don't want out.

That is a good start.  See if a wired connection from your computer to router will work.  \n\nCheck your firewall on your computer. Maybe you should disable that for now.  \n\nIf things don't get better, then use the wired connection to TURN OFF your WEP KEY password for now.   If you can establish a proper connection, then try a simply password scheme.  \n\nBut don't try to run without security forever.  YOU SHOULD BE USING THIS FEATURE.

Try to update the drivers and software available from Compaq (HP). \n\nhttp://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/EvoNotebook/us/locate/63_2044.html\n\nIt may have something to do with the encryption on the connection whether it's WEP or WPA. Be sure that the key is correctly entered for your built in connection

go to network connections in control panel, and view wireless networks, ig none are dhown, click refresh, and when it shows it click on connect, also make sure windows has installed drivers for you wireless adapter or built in card, it may not be installed

You have to set-up a connection with the wireless internet you're trying to connect to, since each is different. Not sure how to do it since I don't know what computer you're running, but there should be Network settings somewhere where you have to create a new connnection. You'll probably have to find out a certain name/password depending on the network you're trying to connect to. Whereever you are there should be some help somewhere on how to do this.

G'day,\n\nYou can try to connect, after doing what 2nd answer suggestion, but I think most of them has secured connection anyway, so u need password to join in.\n\nGood Luck!!

It is simple as wired network, First configure the wireless network by giving ip to all systems and SSID for wireless network. SSID will be asked when configuring the wireless adaptor, it shuold be same for all the pc, IT is nothing but a encryption code.after configuring the wireless try ping comm to check the n/w.if it perfect then share the folders as like wired network.

1.Set up WPA passwords (WEP can be cracked easily, anyone with an internet connection can figure out how to do this in under 5 minutes, WPA has no simple way to crack, someone has to gather over 1 million packets to crack it, and even then, it's just an educated guess and not for sure).\n\n....a) Go into your router settings, click on Wireless tab, enable \n........security, pick WPA and use 9 numbers. (Reboot your \n........router, and all the computers on your network, it will now \n........ask them for the password you set up in your router)\n\n2. Set up Mac Filtering (this will only allow the Mac Addresses from the wireless cards you are using on your computers, for most home networks, you don't really need to do this, but it is "extra security")\n\n....a) This is a little more difficult, you have to find out all the MAC\n....... Addresses for all of your wireless network interface cards \n.......(Wireless cards)\n....b) Go to each of your computers on your network, and click on\n....... Start -> Run -> type in "command",\n....... after you get a DOS screen type in "ipconfig /all"\n....... you should now look for where it says Physical Address\n....... it should say something like "00-22-WP-EC-23-3C"\n....... That is your MAC address for that machine, write it down\n....... (repeat that step for all of your computers you want to \n....... connect to your router)\n....c) Now you can go to your wireless settings in your router and \n....... enable MAC address filtering, and type in the MAC \n....... addresses you want to allow.  Reboot your router again, \n....... after all of that, and you should be good to go.\n\nOR... (My personal favorite way)\n\nYou can leave it unsecured, and download Cane & Able, use ARP Poisoning, and sniff out all the passwords from people who are stealing your bandwidth, and then go over to your neighbors house and tell them you have their passwords and they should stop using your unsecured network... I did that... and it worked out pretty well for me.\n\nIt will give you all their myspace passwords... yahoo passwords... credit card numbers... etc, and it's all legal for you to do because its YOUR network.  You can sniff out any packets you want, on YOUR network.

Your SSID can be either a name or numbers, the default for linksys is linksys, if you changed it you will need to find that out, if you already have another computer on the wireless network you should be able to find out from that computer if you right click on your network connection on the bottom right hand corner of your screen. If you do not have that there and are connected to the network you can access your wireless card from start->controlpanel->networkconnections and then double clicking on your wireless card.\n\nIf that does not work log into your router the by the same way you configured it and get the SSID from there.\nEx. a linksys router using internet explorer type in the address bar 192.168.1.1 and if you still have the default user name and password, username: admin password:           .\n\nGood luck

* Open Control Panel, and double-click on the Network icon.\n    * From the list entitled Primary Network Logon:, choose Windows Logon, and press OK.\n\n    * Note: If this doesn't work, make sure you didn't initially configure a password for yourself. If you did, Windows 98 will always require it. Double-click on the Passwords icon in Control Panel to choose nothing (leave it blank) for your password.

Click start, then click on My Network Places.  Then on the left hand side clikc View My Network Connections. Then right click on the wireless icon.  Find your connection in the box that lists all the connections.  Double click on it and it should bring up a box.  On that screen should be the box for the network key and the confirm network key.

the default webpage for a belking is usually 192.168.2.1 but you most probarbly know that already.\n\nFirst setup a good password for the access to the administration page.\n\nsecond; dont use any default names that come with any router.. use your own unique name for your wireless workgroup. and yes remember to turn that SID broadcast off..just make sure you make a note of the name you use.. you need this when setting up the client as they will not beable to detect broadcast name.... when you search for a network that does not broadcast its name, all it shows is that one is there but does not know its name. \n\nthird: reduce the IP address poole in the dhcp.. if you have only 3 computer then there is no need to have the ability to hand 255 odd addresses... i have three computers and my poole is 4. I have also reduced the lease time to 2 weeks instead of indefinite.\nIf someone gets on to my access point i will know as i only have a few addresses leased out at any point on the dhcp list.\n\nfourth:use the 128bit encryption for security (this protects transmitted data).. and you can use their key generator which makes it easier to generate an encryption.... remember if you use belking client software you can sometimes (depending on the software) enter the same word or phrase in the passphrase which generates the same encryption key.. if you are using other software you will have to enter the numbers and letters it generates manually as they will not use the same algorythm to generate from a word or phrase.\n\n( i had problems trying to use the temporal keys etc so i stuck with the wpa encryption)\n\nfifth: the best way to stop unwanted access is to use the MAC address filtering.. you simply add the MAC addresses of each network device that you want to connect, to the list..any one else will not even be able to get an ip address.\n\nwell thats what i bascially did with mine.... .. remember to get the most up to date firmware update.. as in my documentation it said about setting the network name but i did not have that option until i updated it... it also added the bridge option to my configuration page... \nThe only downside is that the first page you come to is full of details about your network... instead of just the log on page like before i updated it.... leave the remote configuration manager as default.. this makes sure that only people on the internal network can access the configuration page.\n\ngood luck

A wep key is a number that is installed on your wireless router..  It would most likely be installed by a corporation that you work for if they are concerned for your files safety at your home.  I had a router that was installed with a WEP key, and I entered it, then gained full connectivity..  but if you purchased this device from a store it will not come with a preinstalled WEP key.
