To access the wireless modem you will need an internal or usb wireless adapter on your desktop (unless it's already fitted/built-in, unlikely (usually standard on a laptop though)), though you can hook up the desktop with an ethernet cable (wired) to the Thompson (will usually connect automatically), until you get the adapter.	feersumendjinn (64)
1156446	2010-11-30 03:56:00	Ok it is here, im wondering after reading the instructions the ethernet cable is way way to short.............. can i still set up without this till i get a new long long one? without this does this mean no BB? i am so outa my depth here......... :o still using dial up till i get the rest sorted...... beetle	beetle (243)
1156447	2010-11-30 04:05:00	The only thing that comes up in the network adaptors is NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking controller.......it says it is disabled....? what do i need to buy then? sigh. beetle :(	beetle (243)
1156448	2010-11-30 04:07:00	Yeah, you can set it up but without a connection to your computer you won't get any internet connection from it. If you want to use Ethernet, you will need to get a longer cable. Right-Click on the 'NVIDIA nForce MCP Networking controller' and choose "Enable"	Agent_24 (57)
1156449	2010-11-30 04:16:00	Please explain......... if i dont want to use ethernet? and so if i dont have this one cable plugged in............ it will never work? i have enabled the other thing...... totally confused and feeling like this is more complicated than first anticipated....... why did i start this? :p thanks otherwise, i do muchly appreciated every ones help... beetle	beetle (243)
1156450	2010-11-30 04:20:00	if you don't have wireless and the network cable is not long enough - then you don't have a connection. you need one or the other. you could use a laptop if you have one and it has wireless. or move the PC closer :D or just maybe for the meantime use a telephone extension cable til you get a longer network cable.

1156451	2010-11-30 04:21:00	also another question............ i have a phone jack nxt to computer, i have never been able to get a phone to work off this jack...... can you fix these easily? or does it require a rewire ? i spose that is the same as asking how long is a peice of string? can i fix it myself? if it has the correct wires sticking out can i re cut them ? sigh not sure what im asking........ any suggestions appreciated. other wise i need a hole put in the wall or about 5 meters of ethernet cable...... beetle :rolleyes:	beetle (243)
1156452	2010-11-30 04:25:00	i dont have a laptop, i do have phone cables........ so i could use that to set up and tomorow go buy some cable????? oh joy, beetle	beetle (243)
1156453	2010-11-30 04:29:00	i dont have a laptop, i do have phone cables . . . . . . . . so i could use that to set up and tomorow go buy some cable????? oh joy, beetle i guess somehow at present you are using a telephone extension cable for dialup, temporarily you can use that cable to plug into your router . then use the short network cable into your PC until you get a longer network cable . re: the phone jack, it is possible for individuals to rewire it, ie . , buy a new jack box . But if that is not the cause of the problems . . . . it could worth a bash, would work out much neater than a long network cable (!) .	Nomad (952)
1156454	2010-11-30 04:30:00	So, it didnt come with an ethernet cable? If it did, I can check out the entry in device manager if you want with teamviewer. It maybe a bit slow since youre on dialup tho	Speedy Gonzales (78)
