Pannie I am assuming that you are making these posts from a hardwired desktop, Ethernet uses different security to wireless and thus you can still connect.
Exactly what do you mean by reset reinstall? AO reported that you had pulled the plug and then repowered the router. this is neither a reset nor a reinstall as the configuration that was in place before powerdown will still be there after power up. that configuration is held in writeable memory. the factory defaults are different.the reset button see above places these back in force i.e. no security in place. with no security in place anyone with 100 or so meter of your router can take control and set security that you cannot log in through (which is the issue you seem to have).
You need to reset and set your own security to prevent this outside person taking your hardware control away from you in future. It also will make your wireless use less prone to evesdropping.
You are quite correct old one. it should have read 3/32, Still not accurate a 1 mm = approx 1/25 inch but I assume pannie was not going to use a set of calapers to measure.You dont need "to" in any language if you can do math. They are the same.
So glad though that you cannot fault the more technical side of what I said after you had helped pannie over the phone.

dude...i understand that...i know where the reset button is...i have reset the router...i have started from scratch with it...i have also tried a different router and i'm getting the same result...i think my OS has been infiltrated and I'm going to install a secure, real copy of windows 7...then i can start from scratch again...thanks for the tips...

So the question is now. when you reset the router did you set up/check if WPA/WEP encryption had been turned on? If no then there may be an issue with your PC's OS, if yes then the problem is that the router is asking for a password and your PC cannot supply it. Now is not the time for false bravado pannie, now is the time to say to hell with losing face and give us the straight facts, because something does not add up in what you are saying.
Pannie. I just ran a check with one of my old notebooks that has wireless, it picked up 12 routers within range and I could log in to 7 of their admin pages. i.e. no security, man I could have some fun screwing with the locals if I wanted, and put them in a similar situation to yours. Pity I am a nice guy!

dude...i never had security! my OS would not let me set up a password from the beginning...what is your point?
posts the screen shots of your wireless connection setup, panny
to do so:
- from the control panel, open network connections
- right-click the wireless connection and select properties
- in the new window (properties) select the tab 'wireless networks' and find your connection in the list.
- select your network and hit properties
take a screen shot and post it here
and... give us the router make and model...
further... if you've really reset the router, shouldn't it also reset the admin password to its original state? (let me answer that.. yes it should!) If you still can't log in, something's not adding up...

Bloody Hell! It can't be that difficult!

Dis...I've unhooked my router and i am backing up files, getting ready for a windows 7 reinstall...
I went to the admin page once! my computer wouldn't let me go there again...I knew then something was fishy...

ok!
let us know how you fare with Win 7
Dude, vista and previous OS's would only let you set up WPA/WEP security if it was getting a request from the router for it. Your thinking appears to be backwards here, Think set up rounter first then set up OS.
As discus says if you really have reset your router to factory defaults and you cannot login with factory default password then something is screwy.
that's what I think I've been saying...
not true... you could manually set up WEP security in XP... you could manually set up WPA and WPA2 security if you upgraded to SP2 and applied some patching... but, why would you if you hadn't set it up on the router first
It never ever worked for me without setting up the router first, maybe you can as you say but it surely doe seem like cart before horse.not true... you could manually set up WEP security in XP... you could manually set up WPA and WPA2 security if you upgraded to SP2 and applied some patching... but, why would you if you hadn't set it up on the router first
it is necessary to be able to do so if you set up your router to not broadcast. In that case, your router would not request anything (openly, at least), your router wouldn't even show up in the list of available connections. So, of course you can set it up manually
yes very much so pannie.
No offense meant but you do remind me of a CPE's nightmare, you supply only partial information about the issue and that often appears confused by a lack of understanding of the issue anyway. help is out there pannie but you need to ask correctly and give the relevent info.
BTW when I mentioned screwy it was more to do with what you were saying than with something being screwy with your OS.
Gee, T, thanks for the help. It might serve your esteemed computer skills to not post for such a lowly tech creature as I, instead of posting and not helping, and acting like a condescending twat...as they say in Thailand, Up To You!
