Thanks for the suggestions. As it's not my equipment I think I'll just live with plugging into the router with a cable. I don't want my friend coming back and finding he can't use his network. Have a great weekend P >From my iPhone -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

For NetGear routers it's usually admin/password, which means the default admin password has been changed. Best bet is to find out your ADSL connection username & password from your ISP, then factory reset the NetGear and set it up again from scratch. Regards Sam MacAmbulance Providing affordab

Hi Philippe yes an ethernet cable will get you online straight away. You won't get the 192.168.0.1 page until you're on the wireless network. Try connecting with a cable, go to http://192.168.0.1 and log in there, then change the password under wireless settings. Make sure the encryption's set

Thanks again for your suggestions. Going to 192. Etc. doesn't work. 2 browsers tell me the page is unavailable. Sam, deleted the keychain items but login attempts still time out. Am I right in thinking that if I get hold of an Ethernet cable and connected the Mac directly to the router I can

Hey, Go to the router settings prolly 192.168.1.1 possibly 0.1 log on as admin. Go to wi-fi settings and change channel, id say try 3, 6 and 11. Might be under advanced wifi but I doubt it. Please let me know how it works out for you! Best Regards, Nicklas Mikkelinen On 18 feb 2011, at 14:30

Thanks for the suggestion iPhone has no problems. The MacBook has been on this network before (it's listed in Network Preferences). That's what I find odd. The iPhone logged on fine but the MacBook which was last here at the same time as the phone is stuck. Jason, I've given it a full 20 mi

Also worth checking that there isn't an access control issue - maybe your host added your iPhone to the access control list, but it doesn't know your MacBook? Are you still able to access with your iPhone? Ben -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex

This is probably totally irrelevant to the conversation, but for some reason, anything made by Apple has to have a Dollar sign in front of my password at home. I have a Wii (by Nintendo) which only needs the password issued by O2. David On 18 February 2011 12:43, Jason Davies wrote: > Philipp
