Sorry I was so vague. I tried to connect to a network provided at
my local public library where an Internet connection is available. One
problem I've noticed is that when I try to unselect the dialup connection
and instead set the wireless connection for networking it doesn't seem
to 'take'. I hope to try to connect again tomorrow. I have made a few
changes but I'll be surprised if they are enough to enable the connection.
Thanks again for your continued help. MK
