Lost internet connection
I have a Dell xps 420 connected to U-verse wifi. It was working fine, but I wanted to extend its reach and so tried to connect it to an Airport Express unit. That didn't work, and now I get the message:
“The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network.”
I've removed Airport program, but that hasn't helped. Before I do any more damage, can someone help?
Thanks,
Jack

Jack,
You said...
Try using system restore first and see if you can go back to when it worked.

Thanks. Tried system restore--twice; still no good. Windows Network Diagnostics gives me the following message now: "Wireless security types do not match."

Jack,
What I would do.
How to login to your wireless router go in and change your SSID to a different name. Also use these Recommended Wireless Router Settings, I use channel 11. That way you have a clean start with a better connection. If you do not have any usb device, wireless printers or any games, then you could make the security WPA2-AES instaed of WPA-PSK(TKIP)

Thanks. I began to try this, but couldn't find "Default Gateway," I decided not to continue looking, because two other computers and my iPod Touch all work fine,and I'm afraid changing the router settings would cause a snafu with them. The settings problem resides with the computer rather than with the router.
Still stumped, but thanks for the suggestion.
