Hey, I just replaced some components in my WAN and now one of the satelite computers keeps asking for a username and password even after I put them in. I tried looking at the Linksys control panel but there is nothing there about passwords. I do not even have a network password set (I would be surprised if 1/4 of the people in my neighborhood even have a computer so I doubt there are hackers). The prompt window looks more like a generic WinMe window than a linksys one, so I tried going to networking in the control panel, but nothing doing. Is there some way that I could just override the password once and for all without reentering it every 20 minutes?

============================================
I could be wrong but it almost sounds to me like one of the satellites keeps loosing its connection, reconnecting and then re-logging on to the network which at that time would be looking for the password frequently. It could be due to a default password that hasn't been cleared out yet. I would run a network integrity app on it to see if you can isolate the problem system. Alternatively, disconnect (physically) one system at a time until the password issue goes away. This will at least narrow down the culprit for you.
