I have a Western Digital 1000G harddrive and it works great on my computer, but will only play the audio of videos and movies when I plug it into other computers. I tried syncing it with the other computers and it says it’s synced. What could be wrong?

I have recently moved home to my parents, and can no longer connect to their wireless network.

There is a box saying ‘attempting to connect’ or something, and then I get an error message.

I think the problem might be that my sister has got a laptop since I have been away, and so there are currently 4 computers connected to the network. I heard that some networks automatically set a limit of 4 client PCs, so how do I increase this?

I think I read something about logging into a router, but cant remember anything more. Incidentally, the wireless box is not physically connected to any of the computers.

Hope you guys can help, thanks!
