OT: IT Techy person - help with accessing wireless

network???

We have

home network, when we try to add a new machine it says the computer did not

asign you a network address and won't work.

I think

the last PC man that came when we lost code (Dh used highliter pen to write on

glossy paper and then close it so all washed away) I think he has done

something to it so every time we want to add new PC we have o ask him in at £45

for 6 mins. Can anybody help me past this, I'm not a numpty, can work by

instructions

TIA

Hi Mandi

My first guess would be a problem with the security on your network.

When you search for wireless networks on the new machine, does your

network appear on the list? If so, is it listed as a secured or

unsecured network? If it is secured, you need to find the password

key that your router is using or go into the router settings and

change it to something memorable. If you can let me know the make and

model of the router I might be able to figure out how you can do that.

Having said all that, I'd really recommend ditching the wireless

network altogether and switching to a wired one instead. WiFi uses

the same kind of signals as mobile phones and is very far from proven

to be safe, especially for sensitive kids.

Best wishes
