[RESOLVED]connection error

over here we got 4 laptops, 2 computers and a ps3. laptops and ps3 are connected wireless and the computers were wired.
now my dad thinks hes smart, so he took away my connection wire thinking im too stupid to figure out how to connect the computer wireless (he wants me to study more).
the problem is; it looks like i realy am too stupid.. i can connect with my laptop and ps3 (wireless) i always do that myself. but when i try to make the computer connect i get a loading screen, which goes away after a while and i stil cant go online. so i try to repair the connection and get the folowing (translated):
The problem can't be solved because the next action can't be completed:
Connect with the wireless network

Contact your network's administrator for support.

but wtf thers nothing wrong with the connection since everything else is connected to it. help?
the computer is an old windows xp

Can your computer recieve wireless connections ???
Do you have a network key??
Did your dad set restrictions on your wireless connections like he set a limit or sometihng idk...

-Can your computer recieve wireless connections ???
how do i see that? it finds the wireless connections, just cant connect to them
-Do you have a network key??
ye
-Did your dad set restrictions on your wireless connections like he set a limit or sometihng idk...
i can still connect with my ps3 and laptop so i dont think so

Ok go look if your network keys consist of capital letters or not if it does TYPE it in capital letters... my dad had the same problem your describing but he didnt use capital letters. capital letters solved it.

tried but didnt work
another strange thing is: i choose the right connection -> press Connect -> and then it asks for the key twice:
Networkkey: *********
Confirm the networkkey: *********
like im making a new one, and the real key is way longer than that few stars
yes i did delete the stars and putted the real key in there
i also tried it with that already filled in pass but didnt work either

does your router have a button that you must press before a new device can be regestired.. like on an orange live box. it has a button you must press before you can connect for the first time.

did you select the right key type

thers only 1 button on the router. and thats for putting it off and on (its also for the phone)

my laptop says the key type i got is: WPA2-Personal
but my computer only allows me to select: Open, Shared, WPA, WPA-PSK. and something about: TKIP and AES
trying them all out now..

if you can't set it to wpa2 then idk

if it doesn't work you'd have to connect to the router and change the key to wpa or somethign
triple post

program needs a connection to run D:

il try to see if i can do that. probably not
gonna beat up my dad and force him to gimme my cable

maybe your computer doesnt support a wireless connection !!!

then i think the title of this porn is pretty weird
Select a wireless connection

Newer desktops generally come with wireless built in.

Idk what counts as new though.

Changing your key to wpa seems like the best way atm.

Also check your settings on your laptop or something and compare them with settings on desktop.

Cause I dont think desktops come with standard wireless receivers.
Detecting and Receiving is a whole other thing .

u mean that i need to buy a usb wireless connection receiver because my computer is kinda old and probably doesnt already have a receiver in it? it costed like 1200 euro and windows xp was already on it so i suppose it should have that..
any way to find out? im pretty much out of money

lol
Your.. balance.. is:
sixty.. six.. euro.. and.. twenty.. three.. cent.. negative

thx al

xp doesnt support wpa2 connections but the update should fix it
but idk how to make it work since ive never used it and the error you posted is so vague
jsut connect with the cable or use one of the laptops and change the key settings to wpa at 192.168.1.1 or whatever your router ip is

slap ur computer.
