So much for plug and play home networks!!!!! 
24 hours later and a serious amount of       and  we now have a home network consisting of: - Router with both Wifi and Ethernet capabilities
- PC with attached printer/scanner/fax
- NetBook (now loaded with necessities) with both Ethernet and Wifi access to internet, PC and printer
- SONY PSP with access to internet.
We're tired, but we did it, and everything works! 
(Note: When you buy a NetBook you might as well go ahead and buy the wireless mouse (nano is nice) because that touchpad will drive the sane insane, and the nearly insane over the edge!) |
Congrats!! There's no finer feeling than getting technology to work the way you want, even if it takes a LOT longer than you anticipated. It's that HUGE sense of accomplishment! Thankfully, I let my husband have all the fun(?) and I bask in the results!

Well done!
I used to have a colleague who could never work out why the mouse pointer on her laptop would sometimes move erratically without her touching the touchpad. It turned out that when she typed she would catch it with her thumbs without realising.
