Wireless Network Detection.

Does it mean I'm nearly on BB? Or nearly on a downer? ;)

What is it? It looks like a dragon, or a Lowry woman in a red dress ;)

    No it's not a joke Mr S :D

    But I'm not picking up a connection as far as I know, but I've picked up a new icon? :confused:

    It's like a red cross but no monitors.

    If I click the icon it says:

    Wireless Network Connection

    The following wireless network(s) are available. To access a wireless network, select it from the list, and then click Connect.

    Available wireless networks:

    (There's an empty box below it)

    Then below the box it says:

    If you are having difficulty connecting to a network, click Advanced.

    When I do that it's showing Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings. (The box is ticked btw but the Configure is 'greyed' out) All I can click to go any further is Refresh :confused:
