    A million thanks Espresso but now its given me another problem
    Im getting a message saying
    Limited or no connectivity
    This problem occurred because the network did not assign a network address to computer

    Is this a easily fixed problem, i have had a wireless adapter on the PC before and it was fine with signal strength
