Internet teaches you – HELP YOURSELF

You may be wondering where did I get to see internet showcasing the board – HELP YOURSELF..
So, the story goes like this. Last Sunday, I purchased a new laptop for my DAD, ASER ASPIRE 4736Z.
Got delivery the next day, came home and first thing I did was tried connecting internet using the wifi MTNL broadband connection I have at home. Like I did not expect, life was not easy. Continuously trying for next 4 days, with various attempt connecting to MTNL helpline and assistance from friends did not work. Finally after a friend told me that this is due to the operating system, I reinstalled everything and again tried, but in vain. THe support guy from MTNL visited my place and after various attempts told me to get assistance from the dealer I purchased the laptop since there is some issues with the driver.
I visited this dealer again and he fixed it in 30 mins. I came back happy and within another 15 mins realized that the try was temporary. However I somehow got to understand that this is to do with the driver and not the hardware. I started reading whatever notes were available online and started downloading myself the WLAN driver from various locations using the other machine I had. Finally it seems the problem is resolved.
Am able to connect to internet. What was most frustrating for the last 5 days was that even after being a online marketer, someone who says that I can promote anything and anywhere online, am stuck for assistance from others. Why on earth I need assistance from so called domain experts when I have a whole community online to help me?
Again it reestablishes an old saying “Where there is a will, there is a way”

Cheers..
