Broadband - settings on this computer

Terrysdelight

Hi

Trying to connect my friends laptop up via my broadband. I think I've accidently changed some settings

When trying to connect to my network, an error message comes up saying

"the settings saved on this computer for the network no not match the requirements of the network"

Can anyone tell me how to rectify this please.

Many thanks
Terri

Thank you. Can you tell me how to do this please? I will feel like I've won the lottery if I can finally get this laptop connected!

Is this the infamous Dell Inspiron? What is your friend running? XP? Vista? 7?

Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections

Right-click on your Wireless Adapter Connection > Properties

Right click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)

Are they in default settings?

Thanks.

I'm looking in control panel, only see Internet Options - when I've gone into this there is noting about Wireless Adapter Connection.

There is a different Icon - Network and Sharing Centre?

Clicked on Manage wireless network Connection Properties.

There are 2 tabs - Networking and Sharing.

Under networking, TCP/IPv4 was already selected. There was nothing about default settings.

Still can't connect!

Can you connect via ethernet OK, or just not wirelessly.? Sort the former first, then the wireless side.

Can connect by a ethernet cable if need be. We just wanted to connected up my friends laptop to my broadband and avoid using a cable.
