    I have a PC and laptop networked through a wireless router. When I switch on my Aspire One, should it be recognised immediately, or will I have to give the firewall permission. Sorry, but I'm a bit new to all this :oops:

    If your wireless router is configured pretty much default (which I assume is true or else you probably wouldn't have this question) Then you should just be able to connect from the aspire one to the wireless router. If you have encryption enabled (which you should.. WPA or WPA2, not WEP if you can help it) it'll ask you for the passphrase/key. After that you should be good to go.

    It should connect to any access point using 802.11b or 802.11g without a problem, providing you know the passphrase/key if it is encrypted.
