|
Answer» CURRENTLY I have dell desktop 2350 for the last 7 years.I have dsl.Just purchased a new used laptop from used laptops.com.It is a dell 5100 inspiron.Anyway I thought that just plugging in to my phone line would on the 5100 would GET me the same as the 2350.I have no instructions on how to setup the 5100.Help would be appreciated.As you can tell I am an amatuer.If you have DSL you don't just hook the laptop up to the phone line. You plug it into a DSL modem or router. Do you have a DSL modem? You usually get it from your internet service provider and it is connected to a phone line. What version of Windows is on the new laptop? I have xp pro.My desktop has dsl modem.Quote Anyway I thought that just plugging in to my phone line would on the 5100 would get me the same as the 2350 Are you plugging an ethernet cable between the computer and the DSL modem? Quote from: pragma on July 06, 2009, 08:25:55 AM If you have DSL you don't just hook the laptop up to the phone line. You plug it into a DSL modem or router.The desktop YES has ethernet cable.The laptop has built in ethernet.OK, you've probably tried this already, but try rebooting / restarting the DSL modem. What kind of error(s) do you get when you try to plug the ethernet calbe into the new computer? |
