Linda, for around a tenner it just has to be worth it!!! All the angst of a fretting JC and the kids trying to snatch your pc everytime you move must be frazzling - personally, I think I'd buy a looooong ethernet cable to get them out your hair until the wireless wizard wakes up again!!

Thanks!

Bought and paid for.....you watch, I'll get the CD tomorrow and fix it

Check your Livebox quickly Linda, just to make sure it has an extra ethernet port - the ones I've seen all have an extra port. Should be a simple affair of plugging the cable into Livebox, plugging it into lappy and whoopee Internet!!! Obviously your firewall will have to be configured accordingly to allow the connection, but that's no big problem. Solves things while the rest goes via Bangladesh a few times at least

Yup....two ports, present and correct

Linda, its always worth having a spare, longish ethernet cable, trust me!! Wireless connections have a way of sulking from time to time. Just like yours is at present. It's my old Girl Guide training I think - always prepared for anything!! I have just about every connector and adaptor for computers, even legacy stuff. And it DOES get used

Of course, Murphy may be visitng you instead of me and arrange quick delivery of the CD which will install seamlessly and repair your problem instantly. But he wouldn't have if you didn't invest in a second cable

i'm no expert linda but just possibly one of the viruses was covered in grease and slipped through the catcher.

i know how frustrating it is to lose wireless.

installed a new wifi card today.....problem gone.
