Hi yes it has USB,
Been down to my local PC spares/repair shop today...I needed inks,
I was chatting to the tech guys and told him of my idea of using a
dongle...said he could sell me one but no need...saying I can check the operation of my Ethernet connection another way,
His instruction...click start...run...CMD....then in the black box that appears type ping and my IP address which I have just looked up,
Anyway I have given this a go and got the following...maybe you guys can make sense of it,
Packets sent 4...received 4..round trip in m/s...min 0 ms...max 0 m/s
Also tried it with the Virgin web address that's printed on the rear of my virgin hub which is a similar number but not identical to the one windows gives me...windows give 1 extra digit and both give the same result in the test...does it look like I.m doing this test correctly???
At the moment the internet connection is ok...I will try it again when its acting up.
