Just reading Sabres post about an unsecured wireless network!
I brought a PDA home from work the other day and a pop up came on the screen giving me an option to connect to my wireless network and it said unsecured!
So any kunt in the street can basically use it then.

Can anyone help me to put a password on or do whatever i have to do,cause i aint got a clue myself!
Would be appreciated!

Just type in to internet explorer header (or firefox in your case )   192.168.2.1  that will bring up the router options. Then go to security and follow the instructions. Make sure its a long password mate, about 30 characters or more! Apply changes and your done.

Really that simple?Cheers mate!Will do it later after I watch the scum and Chelsea loose!

While you at it, download Internet Explorer. You can still use firefox most of the time, just use I.E. when you need it. It makes a lot of things very simple though.

LINK TO I.E. 8

I'm off to the snow, Barry, if you can't access to your router with 192.168.2.1 in the browser, it's because your router doesn't have to be in that one. It can be in 192.168.1.1 or others.

If it doesn't work, type ipconfig /all in the command line (Windows+R and then cmd) and in the line that you read "Gateway" that's the address you should type.

I'll help you with that too tonite if I survive the snow.

I still think its your router Mac Address Firewall Leon, Type 192.168.2.1 into the header on INTERNET EXPLORER on your MAIN COMPUTER to bring up your Router settings. Go to the section on Firewalls. Go to MAC ADDRESS FILTERING. Enter the mac address of your NEW COMPUTER. APPLY CHANGES and exit.

If its already in there obviously its not that lol.

How do I finf the MAC address of my new laptop ?

Leon you have the patience of a saint.I'd have it out the window by now!

Thats exactly what I am going to do with mine  apparently I have melted the solder on some chip in mine ( by having it on my knee ? ) and it has to be machined back on, Carphone Warehouse dont give a " we only sell them" was their helpful reply, I wandered round a Computer fare yesterday all afternoon asking people for help, they just say " blue screen of death !" its mate

Computers are awkward kunts mate!
Every once in a while my screen goes blue with loads of white text on it,makes a silly noise and goes off with a little pop!
But I turn it off at the plug and back on again and its fine..weird!
I aint got a clue how they work like Sabre and Saint!

Leon I reckon you should ask that scouse dellboy trotter fella for your money back...you will probably find him in the Nags head drinking your ££££s!!
