Re: How to add a new notebook to an existing wireless network?
It's unlikely the router is using MAC filtering so you probably won't need to bother with that. You can get the MAC address of the wireless adapter by entering "ipconfig /all" at a command prompt.
WEP/WPA are for wireless encryption which if isn't already enabled probably should be. You can read about these here:
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wired_Equi···_Privacy
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi_Protected_Access
SSID is the name of the network and is either broadcasted or not. See following:
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSID
DHCP assigns IP addressing to clients connected to the network. See:
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhcp
Unless you or someone else changed the defaults of the router you'll probably find theres nothing you have to do to make it work. |
