Hi ycwkpp898 and welcome to Club Vaio.

Open Internet Explorer and type

http://192.168.0.1

into the address bar - or click on this link if IE is your default browser. You will probably have a Username and Password to enter.

That brings up my router... 192.168.0.1 i have been on the wireless adapter i just carnt remember wat it is...

Have you tried:

Start -> Run and type in

CMD (and Enter)

then

IPCONFIG /all (and Enter)

The other way to get the wireless configuration is : -

Start -> Right-click My Computer -> Properties -> Hardware -> Device Manager

Expand the "Network Adapters" by clicking on the little cross to the left.

Double-click on your wireless adapter and you should get the configuration windows open.

when i do that i get 194.168.4.100 and 192.168.0.119 both of these dont bring up the wireless adapter...

i am gratefull for the help.

i just want to turn my signal strength down as i can go 3 houses away and still get a signal. i know how to do it on my router just not the adapter...

I'm not sure it's possible but have a look in Device Manager and look in the tabs for 'Advanced' and 'Power Management'.
