Yet it can connect to wireless in places other than Carling's home.
I've told her before - she needs to add its MAC address to her wireless router's permitted devices list.
Unfortunately, BT wireless modems (which I believe is what she has) make this very hard for non-Windoze devices - the only way I've found is to first disable the "permitted devices" security, then connect with it (accepting the risk that you have an open wireless access point just then), then re-enable the security - only then will it offer it as one of the devices that should be allowed access. There is no way to simply enter the MAC address manually.
When I've dealt with this before it struck me as the most appallingly-badly implemented security I'd seen in a long time - but it's down to BT being too lazy to test its kit with non-Windows devices, as far as I can see. Shoddy workmanship of the worst kind
Its sky, not bt.... dunno if that matters... and way too complicated for me
Will try to get geeky boy around to fix it with nicks instructions....

Eeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little, in order to say "How do you do" in a gloomy manner to Pooh.
"And how are you?" said Winnie-the-Pooh.
Eeyore shook his head from side to side. "Not very how," he said. "I don't seem to felt at all how for a long time."
