Re: Can't get my laptop onto the internet!

Ok, Manage Wireless Networks, Adapter Properties tab, just opens up a window with Networking and Sharing tabs, the Networking tab has a 'Connect using:' with the wireless wifi link and a configure button below, then a list of items that the connection uses;

Client for Microsoft Networks
QoS Packet Scheduler
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)
Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver
Link-Layer Topology Discovery Responder

with Install, Uninstall and Properties buttons below.

No Change Adaptor Settings option....

p.s. incidentaly, when I click on the configure botton for the wireless connection it says under 'General' tab that the device is working properly......

Masque

Sky broadband. This computer, my work laptop and phone are all working just fine, this on through the cable, the others wirelessly. It is a Sky supplied router, which I think is Netgear? I am trying to get the laptop to connect wirelessly.

It used to work fine, then it went back for a new hard drive under warranty, so they reloaded the OS etc and I have had to do the rest....this is where I am now.

Cheers for all the help so far.
