OK...I spoke to the techie from Elonex this evening. He told me what to do to get it started. First, look for the little Fn key in the lower left hand corner. Press it, then press F1 (at the top) quickly at the same time. This is an electronic key to allow the wi-fi to work, sometimes called the WLAN switch. Your little green light should go on to indicate that the wi-fi is now functional. After I spoke to him I downloaded the free 2008 AVG anti-virus (the WebBook doesn't come with anti-virus protection) and also the Lavasoft Ad-Aware 2008 which is also free. Run these at least once a week to avoid infections and slow-downs. Hope this works for you...it worked for me! Good luck and happy browsing.
