    Win 7 install modem snag


    Just re-installed Win 7. Security pin for wireless modem mismatch. I'm sure its not a missmatch.

    On my other Win7 PC (shared modem) can I interrogate to find modem security pin?

    OK.

    Thanks all.

    New problem.

    • security password obtained from PC#1
    • Open Network center on PC 2
    • type in security password > rejected > the passphrase is incorrect

    BUT IT IS NOT WRONG - now What??
