Now I remember why I use Linux and not some 'other' OS. Bought a cheapo USB Wireless Dongle on eBay which I received today. It came with a disc and instructions for that Win thing, all looked a bit daunting.
So I plugged it in, went to the Network settings in Ubuntu and specified the network, IP address, subnet and gateway. Then it was a simple matter of using the wife's laptop to update my access point with the new MAC address and voilĂ , all connected to the web in less than a minute. Now what was all that stuff about drivers, rebooting and the like? Andy J. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
