Hi Ron, It's just possible your wireless router is set to "Hidden". or to not broadcast it's presence. Ask your wife to try right clicking on the crossed icon, and see what options you get.

My wife tells me there is a cross on the top of it. Both she and Narrator are telling me that there is no network available. There is because all other devices are working through it. All leads are connected and my IPod is picking up the network so at the moment it is a mystery. Thanks for helping.

Is it turned on?

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. Cheers Ron
