I did try that, I remember you showing me when you came over, lol. It was one of the things I did remember. lol. It didnt seem to work, and I also just tried it again, when you mentioned it, still didnt work. I then just looked at the drop down menu in the Network manager, and found the Connect to Hidden Network link, opened that, entered the info, then clicked connect and that seemed to work, and connect tot he wireless network. Since then, everything seems to have worked again. I've turned it on and off and rebooted, and I'm sending this e-mail via the netbook wirelessly. Yippee, got it fixed. Dont know what caused that, but its now working. Thank you so much everybody for all your help, I really appreciate it. John. :) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
