Re: Wireless connection
Right hang on, it says "Wireless communication switch is turned off. Turn on the wireless communication switch (a-1)"

What does that mean?

Re: Wireless connection
all you need to do is run the network wizard as handyman said before!
Then you should be up and running

Re: Wireless connection

Re: Wireless connection
give this a whirl then, check what the ip address of the pc is and set the laptop as something similar eg: PC 192.168.0.1 Laptop 192.168.0.2 on the laptop set up the gateway and dns server ip addresses on the laptop to the ip address of the PC. If that does not work try goin in to network places, look at the internet connection properties and make sure the connection is shared. Just out of interest can you ping the pc from the laptop and visa versa?
