Moldova - I dont have the virgin wireless manager installed on my laptop....

System tray is where you find your wireless connection in the right hand corner.

If the wVirgin wireless manager is not there that is good news.

try this suggestion

Yes - I had to set this up manually with Virgin Media on the phone as my CD drive doesnt work.

LordN - I tried that link, but it all sounds quite complicated to me, will you be able to break this down ladybird style for me(lol)?

Is there any other way that I can get this wireless connection to work? Im sure it must be something simple or basic, like a setting on control panel etc..?

But if it is an IP address thing, how can I check it and change it myself? ....thanks x

Anita that's about as broken down as it gets, it takes you step by step through the process which works. I had someone bring their laptop to me today with the same problem and that resolved it. All I can offer is if you are within driving distance of me i'll pop round and sort it for you as long as you supply the coffee...
