Default Help setting up a wireless network (please!)


Wife has treated herself to a little Toshiba netbook (NB200) and has
tasked yours truly with sorting out a wireless network, which is a
completely new area for me, and I'm stumped already.

Connecting the Tosh to our wired network is fine, so bought a D-Link
DAP-1160 wireless access point, thinking that the wiring goes from the
wall socket, to our Speedtouch router, then wired from one of the router
ports to the D-Link, and wirelessly from the D-Link to the Tosh.

Followed the setup instructions (which also involved buying a USB DVD
drive for the Tosh, to read the D-Link manual which is on CD), and using
the built in Tosh and D-Link software, I can see the D-Link access point
from the Tosh, but cannot connect. Keep getting the error message
'Another Vendor's Application is controlling the wireless adaptor', but
what application?

Anyone successfully connected a Tosh netbook in similar circumstances?

Thanks!

(My own DVD audio problems are on hold until this is sorted!)
