Hello there; I would recommend you use the wired connection, to make your various setting changes.
if you use the wireless connection, when you make the changes, you will lose your connection. ----- Original Message ----- From: "graham smith" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, March 05, 2010 4:17 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Accessing Linksys Menus Hi We have a small network here, our main pc is connected to the router and three other pc's are wireless. We unsecured the networkd a while ago because we could not get one of the wireless laptops to connect because we needed some name or something and it was running under Vista, the other two xp machines connected just fine. The Vista connection set up windows differed from those of xp and we just could not get the correct info in to enable it. Resetting solved the problem but now we would like to secure our network again. Your instructions are very good, I was just wondering can I do the securing of the network on my laptop which is running wireless from the router or does it have to be done through the maip pc that is connected to the router? I only have Jaws on my laptop.
