I'm still here having been fighting the printers for a while. The new unfriendly Canon printer has now been dumped in our front bedroom out of the way; if it doesn't want to help me then it can get lost and I'll sort out the cartridges later. The HP LaserJet 1102w has now been put into service and printed the Samsung sheets off from the link Colin kindly posted so now I've got written instructions and a working printer so a bit of progress?
Thanks Ted; you've really put me through it; the NTL (now Virgin) router is to the rear of my computer desk sitting on the carpet so working a miracle I've finally taken it's picture; re-sized the picture and re-worked the picture using Gimp 2; hope it helps?
Bron has just brought me another pot of tea and I think I'll be drinking a lot more tea before sorting this out? Anyway I'll just go with it because its simply just another learning curve?
Bron and I are still waiting for Virgin Media to sort out our land-line so why do get the feeling I'm going to have to contact Virgin Media now the phone is out of action; smoke signals and email are still options open to me?
The Blu-ray player will search for a network; if SSID broadcasting is disabled; temporarily enabled SSID broadcasting on your router to establish a connection or manual set up to enter your network settings? This goes straight over my head? Best thing to do is to suck it and see?
Kind regards, Col.
I have a sneaking suspicion that you don't have wifi Col.
Never mind, no worry, it can be connected another way or with the help of a wifi adaptor. Let's wait for a more informed cable modem chap to come along.Colin
[EDIT - no it hasn't, see http://help.virginmedia.com/system/selfs...EW_ARTICLE&ARTICLE_ID=2931&CURRENT_CMD=SEARCH&CONFIGURATION=1001&PARTITION_ID=1&USERTYPE=1&LANGUAGE=en&COUNTY=us&VM_CUSTOMER_TYPE=Cable
No worries, I think we can find an ethernet to wifi adaptor you can plug into the modem. One of these would do the job:

You would also need a small wallwart 5v supply - the type used for mobile phones - I have a spare on CE-marked that you can have FoC if you go ahead.]
