[Archived] Virgin Broadband Question?

[cletus]

Can anybody help?

My better half has just gotten a new laptop & we need to connect it up to my Virgin Broadband wireless router thingy lol (i`m no good with technology)

Is it easy to do?

I seem to remember the Virgin Broadband engineer setting it up & saying he`d done something to stop 'unwanted users' leeching off my broadband connection.

Any help would be gratefully accepted

He probably means he set up a WEP key to encrypt it. You'll need the key to able to connect the new laptop

Sorted it!

I`m not as thick as i look! Yay!!!

Went into my Virgin Wireless manager & it said "add another computer?"

Obviously i spun it out a fair while & asked my better half to go & make a brew whilst i did "boring technical stuff". She thinks i`m marvelous now lol
