Toot,Jelly..thank you for your quick replies fellas...its appreciated.
So you would both sugest I just ring Virgin and get them to update my system.
I know its real old,just I am comfy with it,I guess times change quick(unfortuantely) If you call 8 years quick LOL.
A modem and a router is what I really need isnt it,wireless has to get in my home sometime I guess.
The usb connection directly from the set top box seems to be prehistoric now.
Real thank you men,cheers
