do you want me to do it for you?

How, what have I to do? I thought I couldn't get connected because I deleted 2 of the 4 networks last night.

I don't know what you mean, deleted what from where?

When I clicked on view available networks there was 4 available and I accidentally deleted 2 of them. Perhaps I have deleted my own network? I hope this makes sense. Maybe I need to set up a network again and that is why I cannot get connected wirelessly?!?

You can't delete the wireless networks shown on that screen. One is yours and the others are neighbours. They might have gone away by being switched off or the signal isn't strong enough, but you can't delete them. Are you sure that you're choosing your own network? Change the SSID name on the router to make it different.

When e7even were setting up the network, they told me what to do over the telephone, they ended up setting up the 4 networks and I now think that is what the problem is, that I have deleted the one that actually worked!!

With Dads computer being so old it probably doesn't have an ethernet port, how do I get round this?

Shopping list so far:

Netgear router
4 leads of some description
filter

You can fit a PCI LAN Card, they're cheap and easily available.

Why network 4 leads? you only have 2 computers to connect.
