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.

I have an older linksys router so the screens might be a little different than yours but try this. \n\nOpen the router admin page in a web browser.  Typically, you would go to http://192.168.1.1\nOn the Setup tab there is a radio button for WEP key.  Set it to Mandatory. \nClick the WEP Key Setting button\nSelect 128Bit\nType anything you want in the passphrase box\nClick Generate\nWrite down the Key that is created.  Make sure to scroll all the way to the end. On mine the key runs off the end of the box.\nClick Apply.\nThe computer with the wireless card should see your wireless network and prompt you for the WEP key.  Type in what you wrote down and you should have access.

check your IP  configuration it sounds like you need to make some adjustments.  The computers were never configured on a private network were they? How about the router have you configured that? See if the PC is getting assinged and IP address by the router. Go to start menu, select run, type cmd, then press ok, then in the dos window that opens type ipconfig and press enter.  Does it come back with your IP address, etc.? What does the default gateway say?

It is probably asking for the WEP or WPA encryption code. You will have to get that from the routers configuration.

for one if your using a windows pc the firewall supplied is junk. i could hack tht with my dog at the keyboard. get you self a better reputed fire wall like one by symantics. or which ever one you choose. install it an then it should ask you everytime you accses a program tht connect via internet. if you know the program is safe enable it to accese. if you are worried it is nopt then dont let it use the net.

you can't break in someone wirless connection easily\n\nthe only way you can do is looking for weak keys on a WEP broadcast. but every know uses WPA so it's hard to break in because it was upgrade version of WEP with it's flaws fixed, \n\ntrying to get a weak key is not easy to get, it takes month or even years (yikes!) You need Linux or Unix do it so you should start learnign that first.\n\nBetter just leave it be it's not worth it.

If you've enables security in any form (WEP, WPA, etc) be sure you are using the correct passphrase and/or key to access the wireless router.\n\nIf in doubt, reset the router to factory setting (look in your manual) and try to connect. By default there is no security set in the factory defaults.

he has to have a router. if you still can't get on, chek and see if his wireless network has like an encryption key. you might have to call the router tech support for assistance.

First and foremost, you should probably secure your wireless network. WEP is not particularly secure, but will prevent at least casual intruders from gaining access to your network. WPA is a bit more secure. \n\n1. There is no easy way to figure out who is using your wireless network. if someone is using it, the computer will probably be close (300 ft), but if you are really interested, you will need something like a wireless packet sniffer installed to see what kind of traffic is flowing through your network\n\n2. An intruder will be able to see all of your information if do have not secured your network using something like WEP. These days most web sites use HTTPS to encrypt credit cards and passwords (which would mean that the intruder cannot see them), but you should still secure your network.\n\n3. Zone alarm will potentially protect you, but not if it is installed between your DSL / phone line and your wireless access point (remember that if the intruder can get into your wireless network, they can directly connect to your computer). There are a number of changes you can make to minimize the risk of somebody gaining access to your computer (e.g., if you are using windows, don't enable file sharing, make sure the latest patches are installed, etc.), but generally there are always some holes a determined intruder can use to get access to your data. Again, best way to prevent this is to enable wireless security....\n\nMore info:\n\n"Sorta liek creating a decoy unsecured network,tempting an intruder and then monitoring his tracks as to what he'll be upto wid such a network.Will i be able to gain the info of his computer username.So basically, does the intrusion work both ways wen i have created the network.? thanks again. cheers."\n\nYes, and this is called a 'honey trap' system (http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=honeytrap+security&prssweb=Search&ei=UTF-8&fr=ytff1-&x=wrt). Using a sniffer, you can try two things (based on his level of sophistication):\n\n1. watch what the intruder does, and hope that by passively observing the traffic, you get some insight about identify, etc.\n\n2. actively try to break into the intruder's system, really doing the same thing to him (though not sure how legal this is)\n\nHope this help...

There are many ways to secure your router and when setting it up the D-LINK CD-ROM should help you set this up.\nI have attached a link that can help with this.\nI think the best security out there is WPA.\n\nIt is recommended to enable encryption on your wireless router before your wireless network adapters. Please establish wireless connectivity before enabling encryption. If you are configuring the router from a wireless connection, please be aware that as soon as you enable encryption on the router, you will lose connectivity until you enable encryption on the wireless card you are using. \n\nNote: Your network will slow down and wireless signal may degrade when enabling encryption due to the added overhead. \n\nStep 1 Log into the web configuration of the router by opening up a web browser and typing in the IP address of the router (192.168.0.1). \n\nStep 2 The default username is admin (all lower case), and the password is blank (nothing). Click OK . Select the Home tab and click the Wireless button on the left hand side of the screen. \n\nStep 3 Select enable next to the WEP radio buttons. For WEP encryption select 64 or 128-bit encryption. For the Key type select HEX. \n\nNote: 40-bit and 64-bit encryption is the same as well as 104-bit and 128-bit. Please visit http://support.dlink.com/faq/view.asp?prod_id=480 for more info. \n\nStep 4 Select Key 1. Enter a Hex encryption key that you make up. The length of the encryption key will depend on what you selected under WEP Encryption. \n\n64-bit encryption 10 characters \n128-bit encryption 26 characters\n256-bit encryption 58 characters (DI-614+ Only)\n\nThe encryption key is HEX, meaning 0-9 and A-F are valid characters. \n\nStep 5 Click on the Apply button then click on the Continue button to save your settings.

1)  Hook up your router.\n2)  Access the configuration page. It should be accessible by browsing to the 192.168.1.1 address:  (i.e.    http://192.168.1.1). Do this from a computer wired directly to the router.\n3)  Find the wireless configuration and open that page. You should have an option to enable wireless security it. Then select WEP security. Then click GENERATE and let it generate your keys.\n4)  Copy down the first key. Make sure everything on the router is "applied" or "saved".\n\nWireless Computer:\n\n1)  Open the wireless connection and search for available \nnetworks.\n2)  Connect to your network and configure it for AUTOMATIC.\n3)  It shouild ask you for the KEY.  Type it in and it should work. You probably have to type it in twice.

Carl, you have two separate things to do. Switch on the Firewall on your Mac and harden your Wireless LAN.\n\nOn 10.4.8...\nSwitching on the Firewall can be done via the 'Sharing' panel in System Prefs. When in the Sharing panel choose the Firewall tab. This gives you a list of the services you can allow access to when the firewall is on. Obviously the more you switch on the less secure your machine will be. When you have selected the ports you want open start the Firewall. \n\nTo lock out the Wireless Lan I would recommend that you set up WEP or WPA encryption. and change the key at least once a month. The information broadcast on your WLAN can be captured by a hacker and then various techniques can be used to find the 'key'. If the key is obvious it can be found in an hour or less. If it is a non dictionary word it will take longer. Changing your key on a regular basis will force a hacker to recapture and analysis the data again. With luck they will turn to another WLAN to hack.\n\nYou should also enable access control using the MAC address of the WLAN card. This will limit casual users from gaining access to your WLAN.\n\nYou don't say which Wireless Router or Access Point you are using. Most devices use a wizard to set-up the WLAN. If not look for the 'security settings' for WEP or WPA encryption and 'Access Control' for the mac address settings.

First of all what firewall are you refering to ( windows firewall, zone alarm or another one ) If its the windows firewall, make sure to make an exception for avg to go through to allow it onto the internet, even if you do have it disabled, if it is zonealarm then it is still running and you need to get or let zone alarm to allow avg through the firewall. If you have a different firewall then you need to basically add it to the exception list of applications that you want to allow to go out to the internet.\n\nIf you need any help email me or post back :)

I have yet another bridge in San Francisco to sell ANY BUYERS?? Maybe I'm wrong (doubt it) but I have been here for some time and I read your question as, " I'm trying to access someone elses network and I can figure out how to do it, can anyone help me hack it?" \n\nIf I'm wrong I'm really.......ahhh nevermind!!\n\nIf you are legit, just hit the reset button on the back of the router and run the wizard again...that shouldn't take you but a few minutes and you will be up and running again!

Visit this link you would find link to the quick install guide which would tell you how connect to your wireless router\n\nYou would have to try and connect to the router using a wired (Lan/ethernet cable) attached computer, hopefully you remember the password for the router.\n\nLogon to the router and you would see option for Wirless Security and would be able to see the key there.\n\nIf you have forgotten the password for the router then you would need to reset the router and start the configuration from scratch.\n\nhope this helps.
