PC repairs, Perth NOR ?
We have a home PC and a laptop. When we came here we set up the wireless for the laptop but the PC was still being shipped out. We have tried setting it up ourselves, but it just wont work. We called some guy out who stayed for an hour and got it up & running, then the next day it wouldnt work again. 
Can anyone recommend somebody ? Getting a bit fed up all 3 of us fighting over the laptop !
Thanks
Nicky

We have used the PC Hospital in the past.................. very happy with them. Quality service and very reasonable rates.
They have an ad runs weekly in the Wanneroo Times......... shows a cartoon logo of a doctor attaching a stethoscope to a PC............. their ad attracted our attention cos it was funny...............and as it turned out they were top notch.
Phone Number : 9307 4726
Bloke who fixed us up on both occasions was Mathew Boynes......... he did a top class job.

Re: PC repairs, Perth NOR ?
Wireless can be notoriously dodgy depending on the wireless card and router compatability. As you say the guy that came had it working, if you call someone else out I am sure they can get it working to but then the next day it may fail again.
I have the same problems and I am an IT guy!
On the pc if you check the settings for the wireless connection make sure the correct code is in there, if it is blank it out, try a connection which will fail, then put the correct code in and try to connect again. I find this oftern works
The only real way around this type of problem is make sure the PC wireless card and the router are the same brand, such as D-link, then you shouldnt have any trouble
Hope that helps

Im sorry, you lost me there
Think i had better get someone in to have a look. Everytime me or John ( especially John ) fiddle around with things it tends to make it worse 
Cheers
