Hello Ron
Ok taking in to account you have no "switch" to turn yoru Wi-Fi on and off,
there is a key which does the same.
On your netbook at the bottom left there is a key marked Fn - this is a key
that toggles what other keys do.
Now look along the F1-F12 keys and there are symbols on them which are in a
different colour, the colour will be the same colour as the Fn characters
are.
One of them will have a wireless icon (beacon with rings round it.
Press the Fn key plus the key that is marked Wi-Fi and this should toggle
wireless on and off.

check?
Cheers

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.
George.

Hello George, well as I was explaining to Marie, there is no switch as such
to switch Wi-Fi on but there is a little thing at the bottom of the screen
which you have to click. 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.
Cheers
Ron

Hi Ron,
Marie has pretty well answered your question. Is it turned on?
George.

Did I miss how you are trying to connect the netbook? Is it wired to the
router, or are you trying wirelessly?
George.

Hello Folks, I have two computers connected with leads and a laptop
connected with a wireless card. 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
