Dianne,

That appears to me to be really odd. We don't generally use windoze at all in 
the Fletcher household, and everything works really well for us with Virgin 
Media. We run Kubuntu on the desktops and Ubuntu Server on the little server. 
The laptop runs Kubuntu Hardy and also works well via the WiFi.

How are you connected? Do you have ADSL down a phone line or a Virgin cable 
modem? Do you use a separate router? Does it have WiFi? Do you use it?

Tell us exactly what you have and use, then somebody might be able to help get 
you running.

Dave
