I have just looked out my old laptop (winxp) at least 12 years old and

You don't seem to have a default gateway setting on the netbook and
you would need one if you wanted to 'get out' of your local network
(and you do).

You could set the default gateway on the manual settings (to
192.168.0.1) before you do and see what happens though.

However, setting the interface to manual can mask other issues so it
might be worth putting it back to automatic (DHCP).

I think it may have been mentioned upthread that some old WiFi
interfaces may not work on the new Hubs (VM particularly). Do you have
a neighbour, family member or Internet cafe that would let you test
the Netbook on their WiFi?
