Thanks Ethel...good news!!

network is pretty much network.
if it's just internet connectivity - you shouldn't have problems (other than the usual wireless niggles) as control is via your router/wap.

vista is much sniffier about allowing file/printer sharing - the firewall is much better than XP .... it still requires manual setup - but because it's more comprehensive - it can cause problems with progs that access the net directly

I dont like the sound of that...a bit technical for my liking ACtheTROLL. Thanks for the info though.
