>>Did your cable operator not help you at all. Ian>> Actually, yes. When pushed, she told me that I cannot use the ethernet from the desk top which the cable company installed and put it into the laptop and expect it to work. She said I should get a wireless adapter. That was after she told me I needed to contact the laptop maker for installation instructions. So I figured this was just too much work for me right now, and didn't want to necessarily pay extra for a wireless adapter. the cable co. told me that I could rent one for another few dollars each month, then the Walmart rep told me that I could buy a wireless adapter. i may do that in the future.

Vista is like any other operating program. It needs you to know how to use it. Did your cable operator not help you at all.

I'm sure Walmart knows nothing and wouldn't help me setting it up. I tried setting it up, and I'm talking particularly with my cable internet service. It was impossible. So I gave up. And took it back to Walmart, which kindly accepted it back without any hassle. I really don't know if it was Vista's fault, my fault, or my cable provider's fault, but I gave up trying to connect.
