........is causing me a headache :cry: Just bought it for my DH's birthday and for some reason I can't get it to connect to my wireless network. I have run the "diagnose connection problem" program on IE but that doesn't work, nor "repair the connection" via windows. My laptop is working so I know the connection is good. Can anyone please help??

Thank you!

P.S I have tried changing the LAN to "automatically detect settings", but no avail...

    Is the middle light to the left of the mouse button blue? If not press Fn & F9 to turn it on.

    Mmm, tried F9 but doesn't seem to do anything. There appears to be a possible 5 lights, the far right is blue and so too is the 3rd from left. Strangely enough now it doesn't show my router in the wireless router list now :( arghhhhhhhh

    Update: done a restart and my router is now there, however still cannot connect. I can't seem to locate network sharing centre to try to locate an ip address. Looked in the obvious places....not there. I also have the Samsung help page up which is proving next to useless!

    If the wireless icon is flashing in bottom right corner you should just need to select your router from the list and then enter any security code you have set up.

    p.s. for my previous message you need to hold the Fn button as well, should be to the left of the space bar in with Fn in blue. Holding this lets you opens up all the other buttons with blue icons on.
