Hi Chris
Forgive me for being a bit stupid, but I seem to be having problems
doing just that.
I have uninstalled the software, then tried to create a new network.
But when it comes down to it my Wireless Network connection has a big
X through it.
Can you tell me the exact steps you took to get this thing to work
(I'm obviously pretty new to this wireless game!)
Thanks again.
Duncan
