Thanks for your response. "Try moving the second computer next to your router and then check the signal strength for Linksys connection. It should be very strong. Try connecting now using the password you established" I did this but could not get in under the Linksys_SES_61115 network.
ABCnet is the name the I gave the router when it was first setup. I also changed security settings from wep to wpa. I'm wonderding if maybe the router did reset or there must be a very strong signal from another network? But how could I connect with another network using my passphrase key that I just assigned? Its very long and not likely to be duplicated.

Uh, unless I am wrong, ABCnet is not your wireless connection but the router of someone else who is close to your location.
There's no way for a router to rename itself, unless it defaulted to it's factory defaults, but I seriously doubt that is your case.
Try moving the second computer next to your router and then check the signal strength for Linksys connection. It should be very strong. Try connecting now using the password you established.
There may be some intereference from other wireless networks in your area on the same channel if you continue to have issues connecting to the Linksys even when it is right next to it. Go back to the admin panel and change the channel (refer to your manual for this) and then try again.
