Many thanks to all of you who tried to help me get my eeePC back on the
internet (Skype works fine). I tried all of your suggestions and none fixed
the problem.
Yesterday I called asus and was very surprised to find they would provide
telephone support, even though the netbook warrantee was up about 9 months ago.
In fact they said they are there to help as long as I have the machine! (Are
you listening Apple? This is what you used to do).
Anyway, they said that I need to reset to factory settings (the netbook would
only let me reset to December 14, 2010... not far enough!). I need a Support
DVD (which came with the machine) and a usb optical drive so I can use it as a
boot disk.
So I guess I will make a trip to Frys sometime soon and see what I can find.
Maybe even this afternoon. I was thinking of getting one with light-scripe
anyway. Any recommendations? The asus guy recommended Lite-on.
Thanks again for all of your efforts to help. I'll let you know if and when
the problem is solved.
Caryl
P.S. In essence, I will be doing what we do with the XOs... reflashing!
