how do i get onto wireless network that requires password?

Question

i need to get onto my wireless network with a laptop that runs windows xp

sorry, i should have included that i know the password, but i don't know how to get to the point where i put in the password. my other computers are Macs which just automatically look for the network and ask you for the password.

Answer 1

you can ask the admin, you can get a hack for cracking the password, or you can try and guess it by navigating to the 192.168.1.1 address then try admin as the password, or linksys, or no password, or another default is the name of the router. Just cause people set the password on doesn't mean they remember to change it.

Answer 2

If it is your network then you should know the password because you had to set it up. If you are trying to use someone elses (like a neighbors) you can't do it without knowing their password.

Answer 3

If it is your wireless network, you should have the password on your central computer. Find your default gateway and go to it in internet explorer. It will tell you all of the info you need.

Answer 4

Click on the start menu, click wireless network connection, click your network. Depending on your network security, you might need a WPA or WEP code, you have to get this from your admin, and enter your password. You are in.

Answer 5

Ask the admin for the password.

Answer 6

Ask that person who create the wireless connection.
