    I'm having problems accessing my eircom wireless network. When I go to "connect to" it say under my wireless network - "The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirments of the network".

    I got a laptop yesterday and started fooling around with the Netopia Router setting for the wireless network and I switch off the privacy altogether so I could access the wireless. At that point the wireless was working grand. Only then I found out then that this is not scure because anyone can access your wireless. So I swithed it back to WPA. After that the message which I wrote about ^^^ popped up when I tried to access the wireless.

    Can someone tell me how I can fix this? Is there I was I can set everything back to there defalt settings?

    Don't reset the router to default, it'll just be insecure again. It sounds like you have a stored profile for the network which has old settings. Right click on your wireless connection entry under network connections, and choose properties. On the central tab, there'll be a list of wireless networks at the bottom. Choose your stored entry for your network and either edit it or delete it.
