What net book (mini lap top should I buy)

Am I missing something because the N130 is cheaper than the NC10 and has longer battery life?

Hi again,
Thanks for all your help!

My son has now bought a samsung nc10 which he is very pleased with...............however after trying for several hours I cannot connect it to the wireless network.

My oldest son has an ipod touch which I managed to connect ok with the ssid and network key which is shown on the netgear box. I have tried this with the netbook but cannot get a connection. Has anyone any idea how I do this? Have I done it wrong? ps I have sky broadband

Many thanks in advance

I take it its xp. It really should be a case of making sure wireless card is enabled in the network connections window and double clicking on your network and inputting the network key when it asks for it.

Whats the error message when it doesn't connect.

Hi,

Thanks for replying. The message is that there is little or no connection, despite the signal being shown as good. I don't know what I am doing wrong.

Is there a little yellow triangle on the icon in the system tray?

Thats probably it I can't remember very well I've not used xp in a while it should be on the network icon. What router have you got?
