HELP PLEEASSE. IE/Firefox/wireless problem.?

Okay so I just hooked up my mums laptop to our wireless network and I tried to connect but the message "FORBIDDEN

you were dennied access because:

access denied by access control list."

This occurs on both firefox 2 and ie 6

I would rather fix firefox than IE.

Best answer will be given to the first solution that works.

Thanks In advance!

I don;t think its your browser. There either a rule on your wireless router than prevents your laptop from going to the internet or to a specific web site or there must be a security software installed on the laptop.

The only things that come to mind are:

1. Make sure ur firewall on your mom's laptop allows it to connect to ur network. Some firewalls like McAfee need users to allow entrance into a network.

2. Make sure the firewall on your router is allowing other computers to connect. Most routers these days have build in firewalls that may prevent any other computer from connecting. Do a direct connect to ur router (by logging on to the IP Address), and make sure ur firewall settings are ok.

3. WEP!!!! If u have set a password for ur router, then make sure ur typing it correctly into ur laptop. THis is a very common error.

?Since ur getting a "Forbidden" error, then it must be a security issue. Good luck!!!
