Hi Darran This may seem an obvious and, perhaps, stupid question, but does your sister have the LAN selector switched to the on position?

This is a question on behalf of my sister who's having connection difficulties with her new wireless laptop setup. so you'll have to excuse me if my description of the problem is a bit patchy. The router is all set up, and the laptop and it seem to be wirelessly linked, but when she tries to connect to the internet nothing happens. Its as if the router isn't allowing for any outgoing connections. Now, as I say, I don't use wireless at all, so if I'm making no sense here in what I'm trying to describe, please excuse me! From what I can gather, the only directions my sister has so far found to resolve the problem all relate to folks using XP, and she's using Vista. So, we'd appreciate any help from listers who may know what's going on, and of course, how to fix it. Many thanks.
