    living in a rented house with 5 other people at the moment.
    we have a digiweb broadband box (which is unbelievably slow but thats not the problem) which is hooked up to a "linksys" wireless router..
    this was always working fine until one day it just stopped..
    in all 5 of our computers, when we go to click into the wireless networks available, "linksys" comes up saying "there is a problem with your network security settings. the security setting of linksys does not match the security settings on your computer, please check your security settings to ensure they are correct" and it wont let us even attempt to connect.
    we have checked the security settings and nothing seems to work.
    when we hook our computers straight up to the digiweb box it works grand so its just a problem with the wireless router..
    can anyone shed some light on this situation???

    thanks in advance your help would be greatly appreciated!

    It sounds like someone changed the key for encryption on the router. If you can log onto the router change the key, then delete you wireless connection for it and create a new one with the new key.
