Wireless access

Trying to get this thing up and running with the Linux operating system; not as straightforward for a newbie as Windows XP would be. Still, I will soldier on since I think this will be the most efficient use of this machine's resources.

Connected to the home wireless network easily with the WEP key.

Connecting at the office was a little trickier - the SSID is not broadcast. Here's how to do it:

• Click on the Network icon
• Add a new connection
• Select Local Area Network - Wireless
• Follow the prompts, leaving everything at default
• Input the name of the SSID when promped (network name and password must be provided to you by a network administrator)
  
• For encryption, select WAP and then enter the password

It took a while to connect but voilà, it all works!

Now trying to get the bluetooth dongle to talk to my phone. Grr.
