1.	Solve : Connecting laptop to internet?
Answer» I have a Dell desktop COMPUTER which connects to the internet via cable. I recently bought a used Compaq Armada laptop. I want to know how to CONNECT my laptop to the internet without having wires running all over the house from the cpu to the laptop. Sorry if this sounds stupid but I don't know much about this sort of thing. Any HELP would be appreciated!I'm running Windows XP and Internet Explorer browser. You can use wireless connection. If the laptop has a wireless network adapter. You have 2 options: 1) ACQUIRE a wireless router (if you don't have already a router at home) that has ethernet PORTS also; if you have already a router, a wired one, than you need an access point - be careful, pay attention at what are you buying or 2) acquire a wireless network card for your Dell desktop computer and set-up ICS on it.Look at the FAQ on networking Alan <><
