Default Incorrect key character

How do you set the keys on the keyboard to type the
correct letter? After installing a router/network, the
second computer's keys went haywire. Either in upper or
lower case the u=4, i=5, o=6, j=1, k=2, L=3, m=0

They work normally when I press the function key while
typing these letters. Your help is greatly appreciated,
thanks.

Paul ... some computers (normally laptops) have a function which allows a
certain group of keys to serve as a numeric keypad. This sounds like what
you may be experiencing ... check your computer manual for this option to
revert to normal key settings.

Fred, thanks much for the help you are exactly correct,
my wife's laptop has that function and I must have hit
the [NumLk] key and activated the number pad. Thanks
again! Paul
