Hey guys,
My partner had a new Dell 10" net-book last week and having our internet installed today she has gone to set it up wirelessly but realized it doesn't have a CD drive (think this is standard with all net-books??) How do we get around this please?

thanks in advance ;)

It should already have a wifi manager installed (that's all what's on the vm disk)

I'm sure that one of the staff members will be on shortly with the default details and where to find the default wep/wpa key

If it's a Virgin cable wireless router default WPA key is 'preinstall'. First time you try to go online after connecting to the router it will offer an in-browser SSID and WPA setup

If a Netgear you are looking for "Virgin Broadband" and then follow Bens instructions.

Cheers guys, I finish at 3pm so I'll look when I get home. So for me using a toshiba laptop i will just install disc and follow the on screen instructions?

To be honest, you can follow the above on any Computer. The Wireless Manager isn't required

You don't really need the set up manager for wireless.

Just use the built in windows network set up to search for wireless networks and if you know your password you will be able to connect.
