Connecting To Virgin Wireless Help

can anbody help me here.

 

i have virgin broadband, with a "super" hub. My tablet and phone connect to it wirelessly (is that spelt correctly) no problem. i search for it, find it, and enter the pass code written on the side of the superhub no problem.

 

But, my laptop, running on vista, will only connect locally. (i can connect with an ethernet cable to full internet)

 

when i try to connect wirelessly it only goes as far as local connection, and when i click diagnose it says hub not communicating, and to reboot it which i do, but no joy. it never asks and never has asked me for the password to connect wirelessly, so i just use the cable, which is a pain.

 

Any ideas how to resolve this? is the wireless card not working? how do i check this? (it lights up when on)

In hindsight why would a lass have big gal as a username unless she was a massive truck driving dyke.

my name is one of those ironic ones. with the big bit being added as the oldest sibling, but my brother now being bigger than me.

 

FYI i have wednesday afternoons off as my wife works all day!

 

Sadly i do have man boobs, and i blame my dad!

Prude.

I've got exactly the same problem

 

When I sitched over to the superhub I had no problem at all connecting the phones, tablets and 3 laptops in the house. The only problem I have is with the PC in my office, which refuses to connect. The PC is always looking for the old hub, I even go in and delete the odl information and then it reappears again within about 5 seconds.

 

When working at home now, I have to have a long wire out of one room (where the hub lives) and into the office, it's a right pain

 

When I go to "Manage Wireless Networks" I can see the "old" network and the new network. The PC always insists on trying to connect to the old network. I delete the old network and it appears again within seconds. I move the old network down to second in the queue so that the new network should take priority, within a matter of seconds the old network is back in pole position again.

 

I've tried for weeks to fix it, but havejust given up now

 

 

It'll be the subnet, I had the same problem.

 

On the Super hub they have changed the IP DHCP to 192.168.0.1 and the old Virgin router was 192.168.1.1 (or t'other way round).

I'm sure i came accross this problem a year or two back connecting to Vigin wirelessly - i seem to remember i had to change my laptops battery status to "high performance"

Control panel -

Go into " Harware + sound",click on "adjust commonly used mobility settings"

Set battery status to "high performance" in the drop down menu.

Worth a try.
