Finding security code for internet connection
I have just purchased a laptop and am trying to connect to the internet but everytime I enter my security code it tells me it is wrong. Is there any way I can check my security code on my desktop to ensure I have got it right as I am not entirely sure I have?

You need to access your router admin page. You do this by typing
192.168.1.101
in the address bar at the top of the page.
This will open up the admin pages, but sadly all routers have different layouts. You need to look for 'wireless', 'wifi' or 'security'
In amongst that you will find the network key. This is what you need to type in to the box on to your laptop.
Good luck

yeah the linksys thing would be the router, kujawski has already covered normal passwords and usernames (ta), if they don't work may also make a difference to know who supplied the router, which would probably be your internet provider. only say this as some, sky for example, set a lot of their default passwords to be something else.
