Hi Anne,

My setup is similar.

I have a home PC setup, with no network name, everything is 192.168.*
My wireless router has a network name that is visible , and I used that 
- worked great.
I assume that if you are wired router that it has a name as well, but I 
don't know how to see that from the PC.  If it is wired, it is probably 
something like linksys.
