dumb people do have dumb questions..[views:1618][posts:28]__________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 8:38pm - fat ass ""] maybe someone could give a technologically ignorant lady a tip in regards to wireless internet? (judge me all you want- but i warned you) How do I change wireless internet from public to private? my life rules. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 8:45pm - swamplorddvm ""] Huh? What is she asking? |
| __________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 8:47pm - fat ass ""] how to set your wireless internet options to where you need to put in a password or some shit. As the internet goes slower when the whole neighborhood can use it. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 8:51pm - swamplorddvm ""] Right. I steal people's signals. hah. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 8:53pm - fat ass ""] you are by far the most helpful human being i've ever encountered. |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 8:54pm - swamplorddvm ""] Yup. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 8:56pm - succubus ""] that's not a dumb question at all..do you still have the manual that came with your wireless router? if not, what brand is it |
| __________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 8:57pm - succubus ""] oh and it's a good idea making it private so people can't leach off you and slow down yer connection |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 8:59pm - inmate 213 ""] it puts the lotion on its skin or it gets the hose again |
| __________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 8:59pm - fat ass ""] er, no manual as i am unsure if anyone knows where it came from. It says Linksys on it though (which I think is safe to assume is the brand). |
| __________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 9:00pm - fat ass ""] the slowness is the exact problem we're having. the neighbors can mooch off of someone else dammit. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 9:04pm - succubus ""] ok first thing you open a command line...to do that go to START ---> RUN and then type "cmd"...once that screen opens... type: ipconfig that will tell you what your gateway address is then open a web browser and type in those numbers... then you'll get a pop up a message asking you to enter in a password...if you never set a password there...i think the password is either password or admin...let me try to look it up...i will post more in a sec |
| __________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 9:11pm - succubus ""] i can't find what the generic password is..did either of he ones i listed work? so far so good? |
| __________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 9:12pm - fat ass ""] i have miraculously gotten this far. i am waiting patiently for further instruction. hah i feel like a child outside the gates of the circus. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 9:13pm - fat ass ""] unfortunately not, but i've just been informed that my roommate may have created a password and then forgotten it. does that mean we're fucked? |
| __________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 9:16pm - succubus ""] you're not fucked...on the wireless router there is a RESET button...it's located in the back of the router...hold it in for 10 seconds..count 1 mississippi, 2 mississippi...to 10...then let go and you will have reset the password to the factory default... |
| __________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 9:18pm - succubus ""] when you get to the log in and password again...after you reset it.. try blank log in and the word password for the password...or admin for both the login and password...let me know ... |
| __________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 9:19pm - succubus ""] it's admin for both user name and password |
| __________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 9:20pm - fat ass ""] i owe you massively. i'll let you know if it works. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 9:45pm - succubus ""] ok well i hope it does work...once you are able to get to that screen..you go to the "wireless" tab, click on wireless security, and then set up a passphrase...whatever word you want...and then click on "generate"....then write down the first set of characters....that is what you will use to connect to your secured wireless. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 9:56pm - fat ass ""] mm naturally (because God loves to smite me) there is no wireless tab to be found. |
| _________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 10:17pm - xmikex ""] One time my internet was slow. It turned out my System 32 folder was flooding my carborator. I deleted it, and my internets worked like magic. |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 18,2008 10:20pm - fat ass ""] you fail. |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 19,2008 12:49am - thegreatspaldino ""] when my comp goes slow, i hit Alt+F4 and it shuts down programs and processes i havent used in hours. works wonders. |
| __________________________________________ [Mar 19,2008 1:55am - douchebag_patrol ""] Delete your system32 folder. It's a virus. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 19,2008 1:14pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] douchebag_patrol said:Delete your system32 folder. It's a virus. [img] |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 19,2008 1:46pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i still dont get that whole system 32 shit. not about to try it however. i assuming it crashes your computer though. |
