Unable to connect via my wireless Laptop

by Bulletrushout Jan 31, 2010 6:05AM PST

I have 4 PC connected to AT&T DSL internet via my Wireless LINKSYS router. I also have 2 laptop that connect via there wireless capabilities. Now i change my service provider to comcast cable. All 4 PC is now on line hardwired through the wireless router but none of my Laptops can get on line unless i connect them to a cat5 cable. Whenever i go the wireless route i get the error message that reads : the settings save on this computer does not match those of my router or provider.When i go into linksys settings(192.168.1.1) i see nowhere or information that i could change so i can replace the dsl info with cable. How or where would i find the info i need to change.

I turn that off all the time and we have the Cnet Networking Forum sticky for other ideas which I won't duplicate here.

The ONE THING is that message looks familiar but looks to be a typo or I'd write about uninstalling the old DSL PPOE software. But the typo makes me wonder.
