Oh Brother, where art thou??

I have spent about 3 days trying to get our wireless router to talk to our new fancy Brother Multi Function Centre - printer / fax/ scanner whatever. I am delighted to say it is finally happening but - what a slog! a very frustrating and infuriating experience. We eventually employed a techno wiz type young person to come and help us but even he had a battle. The problem was that the settings on the machine were defaulting to something incorrect. So, even when we got it working, after the power saver was turned off and turned on again the next day, the settings had been lost -urrgh! Any way, it's working now and it's great, so there you are.
