Hi,
At the weekend i was staying at my grandparents and needed internet access, so i wired my laptop up to the phone line and tryed to connect. I fidelled around for a while and gave up.
Back home i sat down and connected to my wireless network, i opened firefox (which installed while away) and it wouldnt connect. I then tryed outlook and that wouldnt connect either but said it was connecting using 'Local area connection' i have looked for ways of fixing it but with no avail. I use xp media edition.
Any ideas???
