    Hi guys,

    We bouth Eee PC 900 / XP recently and after a week or so stopped connecting wireless connection. As we use the PC for traveling is absolutely useless at the moment.
    Any help will be appreciated.

    Absolutely first thing to do on such a new item is get back to the supplier or even Asus support.

    Not sure about the Asus netbooks, but some use onboard usb wifi adapters whch cut on & off. Solution if the adapter is not damages is to uninstall it via Device Manager & reboot. XP will redetect it & reinstall it automatically. Does this Asus have a wifi switch?

    My thought to Tony, when I worked in PC retail a couple of years ago the amount of people assuming WiFi was broken on new laptops was amazing, almost as amazing as the look on their faces when all I done was push a button or flicked a switch. ;)

    Kozvanpoodle, try pressing Fn and F2 together, that should toggle your wireless on or off and would be the first thing I would do.
