| | I can't get on the internet When I first set up my laptop, I set up a network. The setup recommended a secure one so I selected that. I don't remember entering a password, but now when I try to access the network, it requests one. I thought I could just set up a new network with a different name, but I can't access that. The router works fine directly connected to the host computer. The laptop can access other wireless networks, such as at the public library. What do I need to do? |

| | Re: I can't get on the internet I set up a new network on the host computer which runs ME. When I try to access from the laptop, it requests a password. I did not make the new network secure on the host computer.
