Answer 1: Does the ADSL router/modem have wireless networking capabilities? Or, do you have a wireless receiver connected to the ADSL router/modem by cable? If you answered "no" to both questions, there's your problem - no way for your wireless network card to connect to the network. If you answered "yes" to either question, I cannot help you without knowing a whole heap more. There are a number of ways things can be set up, which means there's also a number of things can go wrong! If you tell me everything you know about the network, I might be able to help you further.
Answer 2: No, I'm not diabetic. I'm hypo glycemic, so I'll be diabetic one day according to the GP. "If so, me too!" Hey, if I'm not diabetic, does that mean you're not either?! :P If only it were that simple... The diabetes community is like all the other support oriented communities here on LJ - lots of helpful people, all dealt very similar cards and dealing in their own ways. Hrm, sounds like a bad game of Poker :P
Well that's my question-answering efforts for 3am! Time to drift back into lala land...
Answer 1: Not 100% sure about that - I thought it had a receiver, but I couldn't be sure. Hold up and I'll find out from my flatmate at a later stage (ie, tomorrow!). ;-)

That's crap - ignore that. They're two completely different situations - diabetics CAN have hypoglycaemic episodes, but they're not the same thing. Don't take that on face value - you COULD end up with diabetes, but there's no sure guarantee that it would be a result of the hypoglycaemia! How long have you had it for? I've had diabetes for 14 years...so I'm pretty worded up, as you can imagine! I had a look at the diabetes LJ community - and I could not BELIEVE the crap they go through when it comes to health care and medication. That's atrocious! And I whinge about having to pay so much for medication myself - humbled me considerably reading all that!
I will return with further information later! :-) Thank you! :-D
"That's crap - ignore that. They're two completely different situations - diabetics CAN have hypoglycaemic episodes, but they're not the same thing."
My Mum's dad, my Dad's dad, my Mum and two of her siblings are all diabetics. Two of those are on insulin. My uncle (not on insulin) used to have what I've got, and he turned diabetic. As you know, diabetes is genetic, so my chances are looking pretty grim.
I'm no big fan of the medical profession. However, when I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia, I looked back on several incidences involving sugar and severe mental lethargy. It all made sense.
I know certain things can be controlled by diet, so I haven't totally resolved to the fact I'm going to be diabetic in 20 odd years. Basically, if things work out for me like they did for my uncle, diabetes is inevitable. The trick is to cut out all the sugar now so I can prolong the onset of diabetes, and avoid having to make major life changes when (or if?) that time comes.
Basically, with hypoglycemia and ulcerative colitis, I have two very huge reasons to maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle. You won't see me eating fast food, I guarantee it!
Blah. I've written another friggin essay! I'm going to bed now. We'll talk again when you get more info about your network, I'm sure :o)
Did you know, though, that they've actually discovered in the last few years that it's Type 2 diabetes (not insulin-dependant) that's genetic, not Type 1? Which is bizarre, because there are so many instances of it in my family, as there is in yours.
I was lucky, because my Dad has it and when I got it at 14, precious little in my life had to change. Do bear in mind, though, that it's not as though you can't have sugar at ALL - which is a common misconception. It's a matter of balance and not going overboard. :-)

I will see how I go re network info!
