Why is my wireless network doing this and how can i fix it? I was trying to hook up my laptop to the internet and i called Comcast for help. they sent me an e-mail telling me how to change the name and password to my wireless network. i followed the instructions and was able to hook up my laptop, but my main computer was without. i tried to fix it, but when i tried to type in the new password it had a red “X” where the bars should be. when i tried to click on it, it said “The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network.” i don’t know what this means exactly. How can i fix this?
