Plug the USB cable back in, and when you're going through the Found New Hardware wizard, use the automatic search option and tick Specify a Location. Click Browse, and find the Ambit folder - highlight it, and click OK - then finish the wizard.

Alternatively, buy him an Ethernet card
Thank you

I'll give that a whirl tomorrow night and post back.

I would buy him an ethernet card, but then I'd have to talk him through installing it.
