Hi,
I have a problem connecting to the modem Speedtouch 585 v6 in Vista. When I try to connect I am asking me security key. Probably means the WEP / WPA key, but cannot login. So I need to reset network connection settings in windows. vista. Previously, I had no problem in windows XP.
Thanks a lot.
Try TCP Tools, which include TCPView Professional Edition and TCPVStat, are essential tools for network and application diagnosis and troubleshooting. TCP Tools displays all active TCP and UDP endpoints on your system, indicating which process is associated with each local and remote IP address and relaying continuous, detailed real-time data on your system's TCP / IP activity.
Please plug an Ethernet cable in the Speedtouch router, and connect it to your computer.
- Connect to http://192.168.1.254 from your web Browser

haven't setup the Internet connection yet, you can do it from the Speedtouch -> Setup menu.
