A few years ago, when I initially installed my linksys router, I set
it up so that only the network had a password, but so that only my
current laptop could access it (I believe via the computer name). I
have a new laptop and I would like to add this computer to the
criteria, but I do not remember how to do this via the linksys
software. Does anyone know how to do this?

Any particular Linksys model router? The hardware version (from the
serial number tag) and the firmware version (from the setup page)
would also be nice.

If the restrictions were only for the wireless network, you have a
WEP, WPA, or WPA2 encryption key setup on the "wireless security"
page. Use a wired ethernet connection to do the setup if you lost it.
