Hi there .. You could get a Wifi adapter .. Or if you have an earthnet card Installed in your Computer you could use that

Now I am showing my ignorance; what is an ethernet card and how do I know if I have one?

Thank you
Sue

If you go in to the Control Panel then the Device Manager do you see any thing listed under networking ?

I go into control panel and I don't see device manager; the nearest to it is printers and other hardware and in that is phone and modem options and wireless link. Ethernet is not mentioned under these.

I think your best Option would be to get a USB Wifi adapter ..They are quite to cheap to buy and should work well .. Which package are you getting from BT ?

 

[computersarghhh]

It is BT Unlimited broadband
