Unidentified Network - No Network Access

[Harblkips]

By private do you mean the WEP code on it? Or something else.

 

[aem]

Yes i believe that is what he meant.

 

[Harblkips]

Then yes I have a WEP, when I go to connect to my wireless network, I put in the code and nothing happens. Every other computer in my house can connect to it, except for me.

I have a D-Link DIR-615 router if that helps.

What is selected in your wireless setting ie in this:

 

[Harblkips]

I'm not going to lie, but i don't know where to find that.

 

[aem]

See the bar graph at the bottom right corner, near the clock/time? Click it to show your connection, go to your connection, right-click and Properties.

 

[Harblkips]

When I right-click, it just says connect.
Sorry if this is frustrating.

 

[aem]

Yes, then you move your mouse cursor over it, right-click and Properties.

 

[Harblkips]

This is what I get when I right-click.

 

[aem]

lol, you need to right click your network, what is your network?

If the "My Server" is your network, and if you see the Connect then you have not connected to it.

 

[Harblkips]

I can't connect to it, whenever I try to, I get this.

 

[aem]

Since i cut in after two pages or so of replies. Can you tell me what you are trying to achieve. I was under the impression you have connected to your home wireless/wired network, but wasn't able to get internet access?

 

[Harblkips]

Oh No, I'm using my neighbours wireless, because I cannot connect to my own.

 

[aem]

Ok then according to the image you posted earlier, it says you have internet access.

... but you do not?

 

[Harblkips]

I'm connected to my Neighbour's WiFi, but I would like to be connected to mine.

Are you able to log onto your router and see if you can reset the password for the wireles network, and change the security to WPA.

Are you able to log onto your router and see if you can reset the password for the wireles network, and change the security to WPA.

Just incase it might save you time,check the bottom of your router,the original password is usally there.

@AEM: From looking at his ipconfig,when he tries to access his router via the 192.168.1.1, would he not be accessing his neighbours router?

If thats the case,can you connect your pc to your router via an ethernet cable and disconnect from your neighbours network.

Then when you are connected to your router,in the network and sharing centre,look under active networks,it might say "Public Network" in blue,click it and change it to home.

Then go to 192.168.1.1 in your browser and enter your password,or if you dont have it try "admin".
Then go to security>Lan>change the password and set it to WPA.
Try turning your router firewall off aswell.

 

[aem]

It depends on how his neighbours setup administration on their router homepage. Since he is connected to his neighbour's network, most likely the 192.168.1.1 would be his neighbour's.

To get into his router, as you said, via direct ethernet connection. If he forget the userid and/or password, then he can hard reset it, and the userid and password should be "admin" and blank (as the password).

Not without difficulties, I finally managed to change my WEP to a WPA and get it to work. I experienced some cut outs at first but for now it seems functional.

With this change I finally connected to my own wireless! Great success! Thanks!

Fantastic to hear, there is a difference between WEP and WPA, some router is only compatible with one and not the other, or both, abit to tweaking also helps.
