I've run the cmd, ipconfig/all (not that I really know what any of this stuff means!) and under the Wireless LAN adapter bit it says the media state: media disconnected. Could this have something to do with it?

Yup. It's picking up all available networks, just not connecting to them :-) Tried to connect to some open networks listed and it's not doing that either :-(

Oh sorry, no there's no monitor icon at all. Ethernet connection seems to work fine.

Ok i'll just go and fetch it. No i haven't - where's that option? Sorry! My computer knowledge is quite limited!

Thanks again for your quick reply! Yes it's Windsows 7. 1. It says: Broadcom NetLink Gigabit Ethernet, Broadcom Virtual Wireless Adapter and DW1520 Wireless-N WLAN Half-Mini Card. 2. There don't appear to be any exclamation marks 3. Haven't tried yet - the router is downstairs and I'm upstairs :-/

Sorry for my late reply! I try logging on, entering the correct WEP key (i know it is because everything else logs on fine) and it thinks about it, then a messag pops up saying "windows was unable to connect to o2wireless etc etc..."

Hello folks, Apologies if you've answered a query like this many times before! In-laws gave us a new Dell Inspiron Zino HD desktop for Christmas and I can't for the life of me get it to connect to our home wireless. We've got two laptops and two smartphones both connecting just fine. On the desktop, the networks appear, I select ours, enter the correct key and every time get shut out saying it can't connect to the wireless. Tried rebooting the router etc etc without any difference! Please help! (bearing in mind I'm a semi-beginner when it comes to computers!) Thank you i advance
