Tried that too Carol hopless ended up someone who could speak English on a supposed UK freephone number. I am deadly serious. Thats why I posted here. I still connected by Wires but at least its working, the Linksys Modem and Router. I think the problems with the Notebook Adapter. When I find a bit more time to play with it, I will give you email. I don't understand the WPA security etc at the moment its an unsecure connection. I spent days playing around with over xmas as you know.
Tried reading the instructions too, not much help actually.

Hi Carol, I see what you mean... I've always liked that display too. However, I've never made much use of Windows Explorer in XP, having purchased DOpus while I was still running Win2k, and was unaware that that you could display anything other than "my computer" this way. I'll try to find out about this on the users forum and will get back to you here.-Darwin (January 08, 2006, 12:14 AM)

I couldn't easily see the cost from their Web site, but the PC Magazine link they have said its $39.9x per year. I'd prefer a cheaper alternative that supported other browsers...-rjbull (January 05, 2006, 04:36 AM)
This month's fr-eeee software offer
With each edition we will try to bring you a useful software offer... just as we did in previous months. Some are direct from Rose City and some are great toys and tools we have discovered elsewhere that we think you will like!
This month we have a special one for you called CallingID for the Internet.
Download CallingID from the developer's web site CallingID lets you see the owner of the site you are accessing, where it is located and whether it is safe for sending personal information. It automatically detects, warns and helps you avoid phishing sites, and verifies safe sites. It executes 52 verification tests on each page you visit and provides you with simple easy, to understand risk assessments.
Many online frauds are perpetrated by deceiving victims into trusting a Web site and revealing confidential information such as credit card numbers. Many times users are lured to these websites by phony Phishing emails. According to Wikipedia, "Phishing is a form of social engineering, characterised by attempts to fraudulently acquire sensitive information, such as passwords and credit card details, by masquerading as a trustworthy person or business in an apparently official electronic communication, such as an email or an instant message."
phishing The term phishing arises from the use of increasingly sophisticated lures to "fish" for users' financial information and passwords. These kinds of fraudulent practices are common with scammers posing as eBay, Paypal, various banks and other trusted organizations. You can't always tell the site is fraudulent even if you look in the address bar of your browser. These guys are pretty tricky.
One of the ways to help spot fraud is to find out who has registered a particular Web site; this may not prevent all fraud, but it is a step in the right direction. If you are looking at a site that claims to be in Florida but the owner lives in the Czech Republic (no offense to Czechs intended), it could be a scam.
Among other things, CallingID provides automatic DNS lookups for all URLs. A quick installation of this free product adds a new bar to the IE window showing ownership information, including geographical location for the Web site being visited. CallingID provides full risk assessment for users that send personal or confidential information (such as password, credit card details, etc.) over the Web.

There's no adware, no spyware. Try CallingID... it can help keep you surfing the web safely.
