Error during Home Office Network Setup

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

Hi,

I have 2 computers connected to a router. I succesfully set up the home
office network on Computer A which connects directly via cable to the router.
But Computer B, which connects via wireless to the router, kept giving me
this error message when I tried setting up the home network:

" an error occurred during configuration of the network on this computer.
You can configure your network manually or you can run the wizard again with
different settings "


Can someone assist? I can't figure out whta's wrong. Thanks!

Run the Network Setup Wizard again. If it detects a shared Internet
connection, tell it to use that connection. Otherwise, tell it that
the computer connects to the Internet through a residential gateway.

If the Wizard still gives an error message, stop trying to use it.
It's not necessary to use the Wizard.

Does the computer connect successfully to the network? If so, you
don't need to do anything else.

Otherwise, make these network settings manually:

1. Right-click My Computer, click Properties | Computer Name | Change,
and set the computer name and workgroup name.

2. Open the Network Connections folder and configure the wireless
network connection to obtain an IP address automatically.

3. Configure the wireless network connection with the settings for
your router (SSID, encryption, etc).
