Can you override an assigned network key?

We had someone setup a wireless home network, and the person wrote the network key down wrong (or it just doesn't work) and he is nowhere to be found. We now need to add another computer to the network - but can't because we don't have the right network key/password. Is there a way to override it, or could we somehow delete the home network and start a new one? We need to access the internet from this new computer, but we can't get it added to the network. If we deleted the network, at least we could access the net. We have Window XP media center on the host computer.

Can you override an assigned network key?
You can totally reset the router back to its default factory settings and start from the ground up. The procedure will differ depending on the router that you have so you'll need to find the support page on the Internet or open up the original manual.

Now, if some of your computers is already connected online, then you already have access to the router. Hopefully you wrote down the admin password for it. You can log into the router itself and reset your network key as well.
Reply:on the router or hub whatever you have, there is a little reset button that will reset it back to factory defalt, no security and the default username and password are usully admin admin...good luck
Reply:Hi

There is no way you can override the key's, what you can do is login in to the computer using the hardwire change the keys and then then start sharing the internet. Wireless Keys does not have any impact on hard connections...

Network Problem?

I am having problems connecting to the Internet. I right click on My Network Places - View Network Connections and I see I am connected to the Internet. However, I can't get my Yahoo Messenger! MSN Messenger or Browsers to work. Can someone help me fix this problem? Under "View Network Connections" it shows two connections. (1394 Connection) %26amp; (Local Area Connection) Both are showing a status of connected.

As you said you can browse the internet, so this is most likely a firewall issue. If you are only using xp's firewall then check the exceptions list, if you are using a 3rd party firewall go into it and find the options to allow certain programs to initiate a connection outside your network. This has nothing to do with your router, unless you specifically configured your router to do so.
Reply:Do you have a router? If so, reset by unplugging the power for 30 seconds and reconnecting. Go back to Network Connections, right click on Local Area Connection and from the drop down menu click "Repair" and if you do not get an error you should be able to connect through IE again.
Reply:No worries about 1384 connection mate... its a port to transfer data from your camcorders and stuffs... Is LAN connected? Are you able to browse the internet- web pages I mean???? How are you connecting to the internet? I mean is it a DSL/ADSL (broadband) through a modem or a router?

It could be your firewall/antivirus software which is causing the issue here...
Reply:go to START-%26gt;RUN-%26gt; and type CMD

on the DOS window that pops up, type IPCONFIG/ALL

this will give u IP address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway.

First try pinging the Default gateway by--

"ping x.x.x.x" (IP address of gateway)

then similarly, ping DNS.

if this works, try and ping some sites from IP addresses. Heres a few--

yahoo.com = 216.109.112.135

google.com = 64.233.167.99

hotmail.com = 64.233.171.83

if theses works, u need to reconfigure the connection or try using some diff bwoser like Mozilla or IE or Netscape etc.

Else, get ur service provider and let him check.

Boosting network performance?

i have just set up a new network , i bought a 24 port D-Link switch (10/100MB) and i have bought 8 network cards for my 8 computers i wanna connect ...i have used the T-568B Straight-through wiring method all my cable , plugs are plugged good and i have set up static ip's on all my computers (192.168.0.1 ......8) the connection distance between each computer and the switch is about 10 to 20 meters which is not a long distance for a signal to be lost ...my problem is that my network is slow for example if i want to open a shared folder on a remote computer when i double click that folder i have to wait for 20 to 30 seconds for that folder to open ...i used the ping to see if there are dropped packets and my reply was %26gt;1ms which is great , i even tried to mess with LMhosts also no change , what can i do to speed up my network ??? thanks in advance for any ideas

Boosting network performance?
It depends on how much simaltameous activity you have on the computers on your network but I think you need a router. A switch only cuts back on your collision domain you need to limit your broad cast domain.
Reply:we may need more information, but I will work on assumptions first:

1:Since the ping response is good, it's not a physical network issue. The primary issue is network share browsing in a peer to peer network, all Windows XP or 2K.

2: Since we are dealing with a P2P file sharing environment, (no WINS server) routing is not an issue as information does not go beyond you network.

Q: When you ping what do you use, names or IP addresses?

Q: When you try to access a network share how are you doing it, Network Neighborhood, or start%26gt;run%26gt;\\servername\share, or start%26gt;run%26gt;\\ipaddress\sharename
Reply:close open ports or unsued ports...

Acquiring Network Address (wireless network) question?

Ok so it seems I can connect just fine to an unsecure network, but when I try to connect to a secure network and use the correct password it just sits saying "Acquiring network address" but never connects. I am using a Motorola wireless card if that helps any. How can I get connected? Please help

Acquiring Network Address (wireless network) question?
I would check to make sure your DHCP is setup correctly and also your security configuration on both your router and the Motorola wireless card. Try deleting all the setting and configure the security setting from scratch.

check out this article on security setting.

Reply:You really need to know what type of security is being used on the secure network. Is it using WEP or something else? Your wireless card should have a manual that tells you how to connect to each type of secure network, so find that out first.
Reply:It sounds like you entered the password during the WiFi setup in Windows. That's the first step.

You still have to configure your Access Point (WiFi router) so enter your password there. Then, If the passwords match, you should be able to connect.

If unsure, call the router manufacturer for support or read the FAQs on their website.

In network Anesthesiologist, out of network billing scheme?

I had a simple surgery on April, now is reviewing the doctors' bill, I had a bill from this Anesthesiologist want to charge me 500% of RBRVS rate $900 for the service directly and mentioned that I had to pay the full amount, my health insurance is PPO, it sent me EOB explaining that this anesthesiologist is an Out of network service provider, so the insurance company just paid $66, I pay $66 plus the bill balancing of $768. I checked this Anesthesiologist's name is in the insurance company data base, her billing office denied that she is an in network, I noticed that she is using another medical group out of state to bill the insurance company...

I called the insurance com. customer support, and get them reprocess the out of network bill into In work bill since I can point out the Physician ID and they reply with her name and address in the data base, what should I do to this Anesthesiologist's bill, pay the PPO rate and ignore her bill and send her the proof that she is in netwok..

In network Anesthesiologist, out of network billing scheme?
Contact your insurance provider and ask that the bill be re-processed as an "invisible provider" or "hidden provider".

You don't get a choice of anesthesiologists, and we don't get to choose our patients.

Add that to the fact that insurance companies routinely screw up our claims, and you end up with a mess. They should pay as in-network.

Good luck.
Reply:pay the bill.if you ignore it you are going to end up paying more in the long run.it could also mess with your credit score.
Reply:Sad to say, it's your responsibility to insure that any service providers you use are within your network. If she was not a network provider, you are stuck with what you have been offered.

The fact that this anesthesiologist is in the insurance company's database does NOT mean that she is within network. To determine that, you need to check the list of approved providers for YOUR particular network plan.

Whenever you are involved with a PPO, it is always wise to check ahead of time to make sure that all services you are about to receive are covered under the PPO agreement.
Reply:Now, depending on your insurance carrier and the hospital where the procedure took place,,,,,,There is a thing called a "hidden provider rule", meaning that if you used an "in network" provider and were at an "in network" hospital then your insurance should pay it. You had no choice in what anesthesiologist that was used.

Contact you health insurance carrier and question this rule with them.

Network setup help?

I have been asked to construct a network according to this:

there are three routers (elementary, middle and high)

high is connected to the ISP through a dedicated serial connection. all users connect to the internet via the public address of 210.16.4.0

all workstations have to be able to ping this ip address but this router should not be able to ping anything! (ISP shouldn't be able to see your network)

the network has a total of 900 students

65 teachers and staff

3 administrators

admin should be able to see the teacher and student subnetworks

teachers should be able to see own and students subnetworks

students should only be able to see theirs

needs acl for this and i need everything subnetted!!!

Network setup help?
How are you meant to "construct" this? Drawing diagrams? Connecting real routers? Is this a real life situation or an assignment? Sounds quite "cisco" to me! :o)
