Re: How to add a new notebook to an existing wireless network?
Since you have to ask it is probable the router was never changed from defaults and you'll have to do nothing. If MAC filtering is enabled in the router the MAC address of the new laptop would need to be added. If the connection is encrypted with WEP/WPA you'd need the key to be able to connect. If SSID broadcast is disabled you'll need to know the SSID and manually setup the network on the laptop. If you don't run DHCP on your network you'll need to setup static addressing. |

|  Thank you for your prompt response and valued comments. Please comment on the following:
1. How will I be able to find the MAC address of the new laptop?
2. I'm not familiar with the terms WEP/WPA, SSID, DHCP could you please elaborate on these items.
Once again thank you. |
