I would create a new wireless network and start from scratch.

Linksys is the company that makes the router. Comcast is an internet provider which I hate with extreme prejudice. I can't wait for FIOS to get here.

Thanks, Homer, but they already called Linksys and they want to charge them $95 to start, then whatever per hour for working on it.

Linksys is Comcast, correct? Well, let me tell you a little story about them.
I've been a fioS customer for forever. My boyfriend and I decided to switch from fioS and go with comast because fioS was getting a little expensive. We called comast, and got a GREAT deal. They were supposed to come out on a Friday between 3-8pm. I had a hair appointment at 5pm, so I got my boyfriends mother to house-sit. I didn't get home til almost 9pm, and she told me that they NEVER called nor showed up (okay, it was a Friday, so I could understand). Anyways, long story short, they eventually came out, and said that their paperwork said "no installation just an estimate."An estimate for what? To show you where my boxes are going to go and show you where I'll be sitting my remotes? Ridiculous! THEN, they wanted to charge $80 to set up a router. Are you f'in kidding me? Not to mention, the internet speed sucked. We couldn't have a desktop and 2 laptops running plus a playstation3 at the same time, but with fioS we could. Their customer service is crap. Half the time when I called to speak to a representative, they had an attitude or were very blunt or their number would just not work. A month ago, we finally got fioS back and now have 3 computers and a ps3 running constantly. We haven't had any problems. We have ALL movie channels, 2 DVR's, and HD PLUS 35 up and 35 down for $99.99 a month. plus tax is around $120-ish. not bad at all.

Go to Start > Run > type in services.msc
Click on WZC
Under the "General" tab, set the "Startup type" to 'Automatic' and hit the apply button.
Then your good to go

I've been trying to help my parents with this computer issue. Maybe someone here will know what to do.
They have 3 computers that use Linksys to connect to the internet. The main computer is hardwired to the Linksys router and the laptop is wireless. However, after rebooting their second desktop, the one they want the Linksys wireless connection on, we have to go to Start>Run>type in services.msc> click on WZC and then click start. The flashing yellow light on the Linksys box immediately goes green and we're connected. As soon as we shut down the computer and reboot, we have to go through all of those steps again. Is there a way to make it "stick?" We've gone into the network settings box and it says that it's set to automatic.
It's a desktop, Dell Windows XP. I don't know if there's a wireless card inside, but I doubt it.
