Re: help with wireless setup

Hi there
So your main PC has a built in wireless device?
If so then it should be a simple case of enabling the device and then double clicking the computer with the cross through it in the bottom corner.
If you then search for a new wireless devices, it should pic up your router and then just click it and connect, and you will be promted to enter any WEP (or any security codes) you may have enabled.
Once you have done this then try internet explorer aand it should work.
If not go into the netwwork settings and alter the network to disable the wired network and enable the wireless device as the default.

Hope this helps.
