Hello all. I am a 74 year old teenager and this is my first time on the forum. My disabled grandson has been given a 3 year old desktop with XP and a Netgear USB adapter and software which he wants to keep at our house so he can use it when he comes.
The previous owner has taken the broadband off the machine so I have tried to put plusnet on and I get so far then I cannot connect although the Icon at the bottom is showing a little laptop in green and when I click on it it says I am connected. What am I doing wrong.
