Ah the joys of wireless networking (being cynical again here). We're on our second set of wireless kit for the office - ordered the wrong bits first time so the slot wasn't the right type for the wireless card!! Unfortunately opened both packets so can't send them back.

The new cards are the right ones but will they install.......follow the instructions and get the mystical message 'Device cannot start (code 10) as with all Microsoft error messages this one is completely useless at actually explaining what the problem might be. So did the troubleshooting thing on the Netgear instructions....nothing. 1.5 hours later gave up and plugged in ethernet cable!!!

Turns out that there are a lot of irritated people with the same problem. As I found out once I got back onto the internet and did a bit of googling.

I will resume again on Monday by downloading the latest drivers, reinstalling then putting back the wireless card. All of which I will do with the router off so that it can't get its little wireless brain all confused. Grrrrrrrrrrrr
