i have a new laptop, with wireless. It connected to my boyfriends internet fine. then when i got it home it would not connect to mine, because its using HIS network key, instead of mine. I have deleted his from the prefered network list and only mine is here. When i enter the network key and try to connect it automatically switches it back to his network key again. So cant find the connection at mine. Also in my wireless list (not sure if related).. when im at home i have my network as 'preffered' and another one as 'on demand' (the second one i have never connected to). When i go to my boyfriends HIS network says 'on demand' by it Any advice welcomed as its driving me mad to have a brand new nice laptop i cant use :( Thanks

Does your wireless utility have the ability to do profiles? New laptop should also come with free support. Give them a call. Perhaps you need an update for this software.

thank you for the fast reply. Never thought about calling their support? But it only seems to be my internet it doesnt want to onnect to. I tooke it to my friends and it connected the theirs fine. - both on bt (friend and boyfriend) im on orange. I dont know about profiles?

When you setup your wirless connection at home, at the end you should have the ability to name it and save it. This is a profile. Can you do this?

yeah i can do that, and have done

Then how are you determining the profile is using the wrong encryption key? Key should be unique to each profile. Each profile named differently?

because i have to enter my network key, and everytime i go to put it in there is my boyfriends already there, in both the network key space and the confirm (his is shorter than mine) so easily identifyable) When i delete this to add my longer network key in, and confirm and press ok, it reverts back to the shorter one - boyfriends, and ries to connect using that. If i take the laptop to his house it connects automatically, no network key need entering etc...
