"Thanks Malke,
Unfortunately I can not change the SSID, the router is work supplied and
that is a pocedure at work, their reasoning is that if no one can see it they
can nt try to hack it.
As I mentioned I have good connectivity to the Internet but still the
connection screen shows "the settings saved on this computer for the network
do not match the requirements of the network" and when the mouse is hung over
the connection the information box states the security is WEP. this is
incorrect. Is there something on my pc I need to change for this to rectify
the message?
thanks
Mark
