It was looking so good. Finding the Network tab on the left (so often it's just reading that's the problem) enabled me to manually set the IP address (and I successfully updated the software on the laptop).
But even though the Network test results say I'm connected to the internet, I still get an error Unable to connectto Web Services. I double check the DNS addresses - 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
So. Now what can I do?
