If so you don't have any wireless adaptors in it but you should get away with just a basic USB wireless adaptor to be honest.

Well, other than it being a far more stylish burnished gunmetal tupe of colour, that's the one :)

What does the USB adaptor look like in order for me to (and not condoning this is any way, shape or form ;) ), *ahem* acquire from work for a bit :disturbd:

or this if you are ok with opening the case to fit a card
http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/50127/rb/23566357929
should work ok with the BT wireless hub or if you are feeling flush you can buy one from BT for a lot more money ;)

I have to be honest and say that I'd rather not faff about inside the case (I'm clumsy enough to start off with :) ). I think I may purchase the adaptor and take it from there - I'm guessing that I just plug it into one of the USB ports and basically leave it there?

I know that, but you posted that after the original one, damn you - I only replied to the first half :D

Re: Wireless query

They look like USB dongles for Bluetooth or even USB memory sticks to a point. Not that expensive these days either so as long as you have the standard white home hub you can use either an 11g or 11b wireless adaptor which means you can use most current wireless adaptors ;)

Thanks for your help matey :)

EDIT: Mind you, there's another one on there for 11 quid, so I was wrong there as well :D

EDIT 2: One adaptor ordered, and due for delivery early next week :). Splendid!

Re: Wireless query

Well, the adaptor arrived today (as stated :shocked: ), and I'm currently wireless :)

Slightly academic, 'cos until the the Christmas tree goes, I'm wireless while still next to the router but hey, at least it works :)

Thanks for your help (particularly Paul) :tu:
