Hi

My wireless internet is NOT working but when i plug a cable directly from the box to the computer it DOES work.

I took the "wireless USB LAN Adaptor" into a shop and he said that it was working fine.

It was working before. Any ideas? (It can find the network, it just can't connect)

Also when i moved the computer next to the wireless box so i could try a cable. The sound stopped working (I just have speakers built into the screen). I'm pretty sure i plugged everything back into the right place.

Any ideas on that?

Thank-you for any help

They talked us through a few different things. But in the end the guy on the other end of the phone said he didn't know what was wrong.

Thank-you for you help so far
