i bought the suggested expresscard from ebay and it worked a treat. thank you very much for your help. :D

ahh... thank you very much. i thought it was going to be ridiculously expensive :) i will order one later and post how i get on with it. cheers synapse

that sounds like a good idea as its really annoying me. my laptop is and advent 6552. will it just slot into the space on the side of the laptop where a plastic card is? thanks for your quick replies Synapse and Dalo!! :)

Hi!! I have recently moved to uni and have needed to connect to the internet through a port in my room. i bought an ethernet cable (one recomended by the uni) and internet works fine... until i adjust my screen slightly or move my laptop across the room. this is very annoying especially when i want to be connected to the internet and have it on my lap. i changed the cable and have had the exact same problem. there is nothing blocking the connection pins in the port or on the cables. also i updated the network adapter driver yesterday and that had no effect. this is now beginning to get rather frustrating as i dont understand what the problem could be. i have an advent laptop with windows vista home premium. i have experienced no problems like this until moving to uni as i usually use wireless at home. any help would be much appreciated. thanks.
