I'm on Vista. I do have a wireless device that uses XP. Tosko, your help would be very much appreciated. I do know the IP # to get into my router programing, I am enough of a beginner that I am not sure what settings would need to be changed.If my inability to get online is due to my router programing, won't I have this problem everyplace I try to use public wifi? Or once I'm online can I download something that will help?
