Aragorn Thank you for replying to me.

Firstly I downloaded all the updates about 40 in number on the Laptop that it told me to..took for ever too...Tuesday morning when I tried to open the wireless network a page appeared..it was my Choose a Wireless Network page..and this usually shows my network and 2 others in the local area. instead it said...Windows cannot configure this wireless network..and went on to say to start Wireless Configeration (WZC) service to go to the Microsoft web sote and look at Article 871122 in the Microsoft knowledge base etc. I did this and after reading it still don't know how to get round this issue.
I didn't download I.E.7 either..still with I.E.6 so can't be that.
Now heres another thing..today here on this desktop I have logged in wired up..clicked on the wireless connection and it has connected me straight away. but still can't get it on the laptop..and I spent all Monday on it so I know all the settings should be o.k.

Sorry for going on...but now I am having to plug both laptop and desktop in and out on the same cable to get online.

Any advice would be so great.

Thanks..

Chrisann.
