Answer 1

Your Ineternet account might be associated with the MAC address of your old network adapter (ethernet card). You need to copy the MAC address from your old adapter onto the router. You can either do this manually (with some help from somebody who knows what I'm talking about) or you can attach the old computer to the router with a cable and use the function in the router setup menu somewhere called "copy MAC address"

A MAC address is a hardcoded address unique to each individual network adapter. It can be overridden. The router uses the address from your old adapter to basically mimic it from the point of view of your service provider.

EDIT: yeah, I misread your question. Better to take Antirion's advice...

The MAC address will be the same, of course, since you're using the same card, just in different computers. That's not the problem.
First, make sure Windows recognizes the new hardware (check device manager to make sure the wireless NIC is installed, has the proper drivers, and Windows thinks it's operating properly). If not, you'll need to properly install the NIC and load the proper drivers.

Second, go to control panel/network connections. There may be more than one connection listed. Look for the one that is wireless (it won't be named "internet connection" by default, but it will have an indicator telling you it's the wireless connection).

Third, click on the connection, then "detect wireless networks within range". You should be able to pick up your router's signal and connect (If you have your wireless secured, you'll have to reenter your code in the new computer).

nicely that is a superb theory to go away it waiting over evening and notice if it had moved on somewhat interior the morning. If there is assorted consequences then try the single nearest the precise of the outcomes. there's a unfastened music downloading application like limewire yet no longer fairly surprisingly much as good called imesh the place there might have the music. seek it on google and procure it. that is virus unfastened. if all else fails try doing the legal way and purchase it on itunes lol. good success!
