CLK how old is the machine?is it one of the newer silver cased ones? is it within the last 5 or 6 years? if so, they are pretty easy to get online. it sounds like you are headed in the right direction. when you pull up the "linksys" network, does it show secured or unsecured under the name? do you recall passwording the network in the past? when you click on linksys, does it ask for a password? If you want to Pm me with your contact info, i may be able to give you a call and walk you through it.
As long as you promise never to kick my garbage cans over again
