Hello, I'm sure you get lots of similar queries here, sorry if I repeat stuff - but I'm so clueless when it comes to computers that I don't know where to find this info! I have a desktop computer which runs windows XP and is connected to NTL broadband internet through a little silver box (which i think is a modem, but don't quote me). Connected to this computer is everything under the sun - my camera, printer, scanner, extra hard drive, music system, etc etc etc. Then I have a laptop. It runs windows 2000 professional. It's apparently 'internet ready' whatever that mean - but I think this may only be for a dial up connection. I need to connect the two. It needs to be a wireless connection if at all possible and it's totally vital that I can fileshare. If there is a way without huge ammounts of cost to mean I can share the internet connection, printer etc etc then that would be great. I am moving house soon (possibly changing internet service provider), and in about 6 months will be getting a new laptop - so if whatever bit(s) of equipment I buy would be tranferable when the changes happen that would be great and save me buying more stuff later. Can anyone help me out? Let me know what I need to buy. Feel free to ask questions if I havn't given all the necessary information. Thankyou!
can you specify the labtop since many of them come with 802.1g wireless connection or some other wireless technology, if you specify the labtop it wud help.
I don't know. It's an IBM thinkpad one, and it's a few years old. I don't know all the specs of it because it was given to me. How could i find out of it has one of these 802.1g connections?
