Hi - ok - yes I think it must be a neighbours device (from a long distance). I switched mine off and could see on NetStumbler there was still a Linksys - and if I did Fn+F5 - to scan for wireless networks it came up. Interestingly, it came up at about 5% strength - and yet now when I switch my router back on the neightbour Linksys is about 90%.
Anyway, my next question (and btw - thanks so much guys for your patience and time on this) - is this. When I saw there were duplicate names a few hours ago (before your 'neighbour suggestion' - I changed router name and got myself into a bit of mess and so I changed it back. So I want to know how to changed the SSID in easy steps. What happened for me to get in a mess? Ok - the set up here is 1 modem, 1 linksys wireless router, I Tranquil server and 2 laptops running Windows XP. 1. I went to the Linksys url and changed the SSID to Linksysnew 2. Then I discovered of course, that I lost the connection on Laptop1. 3. On Laptop1 if I go to Windows-Control Panel-Network Connections - there aren;t any. (I had anticipated I would just go there and make a change somewhere there). 4. So I went to Laptop2 and managed to connect and change the SSID back to linksys ...So I appreciate this might be a bit outside of your domain - but if you could help on this it would be great. Thanks again. -- cronshd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cronshd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11954 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=49779 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
