Hi everyone I am finally back on line. Hubby bought me a lap top and it has taken a while for me to get organised. It has windows 7 and so I have been arguing with telstra as they don’t support it yet. Have a new server now $10 a month cheaper and twice as many gigglebites down load.
How are you all well I hope

So long as you have a separate connection device (DSL router or wireless device like one of these from HERE you’ll be fine. No drivers needed, only ethernet (blue network cable) or normal laptop wireless as applicable.

hi kimmysmum. good to see you here again :)

Oh Collie I should have come in here first. Never mind it works now and all is good thank you for your post it is good to know.

Hey Blue green how are things your way dry as we are I am watching a storm front heading this way but it will probably take a sharp left before it gets here.
