"The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network"
My computer was working and all of a sudden I can not longer connect to my network and when I see all available networks mine says "The settings saved on this computer for the network do not match the requirements of the network" How can I change the settings on the computer so that they match the requirements of the network? I can access other networks and get online like that, but my network, even the local one, is busted. Please help!

Hi Lori,
This issue usually occurs on wireless network connections. I suggest that you turn off any security feature of wireless. Please click Start->Control Panel, double-click Network Connections, right click on the wireless adapter and select Properties. From there choose Wireless Networks, click on your wireless network name and choose properties. Under Network Authentication choose Open to turn off the wireless security. Please try to connect.
If the issue persists, I suggest that you delete the connection, and recreate the wireless network connections. The following website may help you on creating the wireless connection.

Remove the adapter driver
========================1. Click Start. In the Start Search box type "devmgmt.msc" and press Enter.

5. Remove the entries related to the wireless network adapter.Then reinstall the driver with your driver CD. After installing, re-create the connection.
If the issue is not resolve by the above suggestions, please let me know if other computers can connect to this wireless network.

I think the reply posted by Arthur Xie is overkill for the problem.
Try this first and if it doesn't work try Arthur's solution.
Go to where your wireless networks are managed. For vista this is Control Panel....Network and Sharing Centre and Manage Wireless Networks (On the left hand side). Click on your network and remove it from the list. Then search for avaliable wireless networks again and connect again to your network. That should do it.
PS You may also have to do this if you change a password or setting on your router.
- Locate your wireless network profile, then edit or delete the network profile that you have problem to connect, after that test to connect again. Also go to wireless router management page, check and confirm your wireless network setting. Hope it helps.
