    OK, yesterday we bought a new Belkin router and were connected to a laptop, the home PC and Xbox Live. Today, I turned on our other laptop, that had never been connected to the new router, and when I searched for networks, a screen cam up and asked me if I wanted to change the name. So I did, and entered a key number and now, I cannot connect with anything, or to LIVE.

    The home PC and live are asking for a code or something. How can I get everything back to normal?

    Log into the router using your Vaio (192.168.2.1), and edit the settings there. Either change the SSID back or remove the password.

    OR

    Find the small reset button on the router and hold it for 10 seconds.

    "A code or something"... If you don't even bother to get the facts, do you really think people will be able to help you?

    Instead of displaying an EULA, I think networking equipment should present a short test, and refuse to operate unless the users can show a minimum of understanding or ability to read manuals.
