Hi,

I have bought a laptop off a friend and a wireless box has come with it, I have been told I need to contact my internet provider to get them to do something so I can then use it, I have contacted them but got put through to a chap that couldn't speak a word of English, I couldn't understand a word he was saying either, any advice please as I cannot go through over an hour on the phone to where ever and not get anything sorted !

Which tv to buy?

F drive does not recognise camera but does flash memory

Firstly, who is your ISP and is your router the right sort?

You should not need to contact your ISP to set up a wireless network.

Is the router simply a router, or a combined modem/router? What make/model is it?

Are you running Windows XP? Is the laptop wifi enabled?
