Hi Marie, how lovely to hear you on this Saturday evening. I have just been listening on BBC IPLAYER to "Wonders of the Universe". No WI-FI is not switched on exactly. There is a little icon at the bottom of the screen which has a cross on it. I have discovered with Margaret's help that the screen is saying that there is no network. Now we are using all our computers including the pod so I don't understand it. All leads are in place upstairs so it is a mystery. If you can solve it please do so and you will go up a few notches in my estimation of you,smiles Did I tell you I was going to the doctors with my bad back? Well I did go and kkcame away with a prescription for four lots of pills. Back now much better although today I have had a tummy upset. Shortly going to bed. Take care Ron xxx ----- Original Message ----- From: Marie Baisez To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, March 12, 2011 10:21 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: networks Are you sure WIFI is switched on and enabled on the netbook? sometimes there is a tiny switch on the unit to turn this on or off.

Is it wired to the router, or are you trying wirelessly?

Using a Netgear modem and router. I am trying to connect my new netbook to the home network but it is saying there is no network set up. My wife tells me there is a cross over where the network icon is on the screen. Any ideas anyone? All other computers are okay. A new modem and router combined is being delivered from Virgin on Tuesday.
