    You have to have a router or super hub for a wireless connection. If all you have is a standard modem with a cable connecting to your PC they will be out of luck.

    If you haven't changed it yourself then the router login/pass will still be set at the manufacturers default ... here's a page that lists a load of them!

    After you have fiddled about with it , you really should change it to something more secure!

    My VM password is on a label on the router, have a look there.
