denOkay, all you clever geeks, I have a problem.
New Toshiba laptop with Vista. Want to connect it to the office network (LAN And/Or Wireless) Can see the network, can't connect. Any idea how to do this? How do I change the Workgroup? In XP there is an option to connect to the Internet via a connection that is always on. Where is that in VISTA?
How the hell do you OPERATE Vista, anyway. It seems to work on a need-to-know system that the user doesn't need to know.

Date: 4 Jul 2007 10:37 (UTC)I have three copies of Vista. It is "plug and play" meaning that you aren't supposed to know and that Microsoft have finally made it suitable for even a feeble minded idiot such as myself.
If in doubt do what I do. Hit buttons over and over again until it works ! It takes time but it's like solving Rubik's cube. It'll work eventually if you try often eough. How many weeks ,years or months is perhaps another question.
As Mr. Gibbs if he's still around (sigh). I'm sure he loves Vista and uses it with great enthusiasm.
He's probably send a donation to Mr. Gates in appreciation of his efforts.
