Hi All.

I've been connected for 4 years via my set top box and an ethernet cable to the side of my Fujitsu laptop without any problems.
Provider is NTL/Virgin.
To save myself having to replace the ethernet cables every few weeks because of the retaining clip in the end snapping and it falling from my laptop I bought an adapter which plugs into the usb socket.
I load the drivers from the disc, connect everyhing up but for some reason I cannot aquire my network address so therefore cannot connect to the net.
Am I trying something which won't work or am I missing something?
Any suggestions on what to do or maybe a better solution.

Thanks

John H
