Right bro has been ont phone to one of the tech support guys,he recommends a ethernet card so that is what we shall do,the lead he was given has a wee box on it with different coloured leds powered from the usb socket that supposedly converts ethernet to USB,I'm not happy with that as we have no instructions or information on this gizzmo and the Virgin media guy says they do not support the use of any third party kit
PS bro got this lead and doohickus from a mate not from virginmeda as one had been led to believe.
Thanks agian chaps one shall report later on the success or otherwise of Ethernet card which one shall get tomorrow.
