Hi Vee, Try reviewing this document http://library.gnome.org/users/user-guide/stable/prefs-internet-and-network.html.en and then if you need to install windows drivers you will need somrthing like this ..have not used it myself or do I know if it is compatable with new release of Hardy...hope this helps....good luck redroad
