Interesting. 
I hadn't thought of checking for a firmware update. 

It's running XP.

Nicky,

If you're running Vista on your NC10, could the problem be related to the 
connection between Vista and your router (you are using a wireless router 
aren't you)?

I had a similar problem which I never resolved with a laptop and an old 3com 
router. I tried updating the firmware on the router but it had no effect. Ended 
up changing broadband provider which meant that I got a new router and hence 
the problem was resolved.
 
Apparently in the early days Vistas in-built support for wireless routers was 
quite poor.

If you were able to use it perfectly with wi-fi in the UK then it may indicate 
that the issue is with your router and not your netbook. It could be worth 
getting hold of a different model of router to test this theory.

Hope this helps,

Ciaran
