Hi Tony, looks like the dog. 
 
Have booked a repair so can only hope I get it back before belly-up time.

Hello Tom
 
My 4211 has a ReakTek card (or chipset as probably embedded on motherboard)
and I have found it particularly good for picking up wifi. Tried it with
public hotspots in England, Belgium, Holland and Italy and had no probs
connecting apart from Italy where I needed to be quite near source. My
wife's laptop would not pick up on this signal at all (she uses a RoverBook
which I think is a rebadged Toshiba). My desktop also uses RealTek chips for
networking - no problem.
 
Can't say if I've just been lucky or you've bought a dog. 
 
Like you I bought from PC World. Today had news that PC World probably won't
exist after Christmas which is not good news guarantee wise.
 
 
Regards
Tony

Hi Tom,

 

Well I can honestly say I have no problems so far with the MSI Wind.  It
runs like, well, like the Wind <Smile>.

 

All the best

 

Steve

Partly a curio as I have booked the advent for a repair. Wireless connection
drops off almost immediately on connection. Have a realtech card with what
is supposedly the latest drivers from thetechguys site.

 

There is supposedly a general prob with this card. does anyone else have
this or are folk using different wireless cards?

 

My first machine's battery failed within a month and it took PC world more
than a month to get another one so I got a replacement machine. I have had
this machine for just over a month and problems.

 

I really like the concept of the net book, but, beginning to think that
either I am hell of unlucky or the machine is not what it was cracked up to
be. 

 

I would be wary about getting one. As the Irish man said when asked the way
to cork, "If I was you, I wouldn't start from here".
