> I am using a Belkin USB WiFi adaptor on an elderly Toshiba laptop running Intrepid and it worked first time; plug and play. Get your brother to give it a try. I am also a recent convert from Windoze so I understand his caution after past experience of the fuss that XP makes over some straight forward jobs. Have faith.

He said that it is an old adaptor and he had tried it and it didn't
work. I'll keep with him until it does.
