Geez, need another drink do you?
No need to snarl at everyone.

I haven't seen a modem without wireless in absolutely ages.........get one if yours is so old it isn't.
Thats the simplest way to do this, never mind you did your update already, saves data next time you are using the phone or updating it.

Do you spend a lot of your time looking at modems? Don't answer - we all have our pastimes. My +/- 10 year old modem works perfectly, so why should I bother replacing it? And as mentioned, I already have a couple of wireless modems.

So -- why don't you pull your head in, stop wasting our time, and use them?

The "problem /Confusion" was all created by one simple part in the original post, lack of information.

Hence my response :


Your question actually leaves / creates a lot more questions

Here's what I mean. It was stated:

I want to use my notebook's ADSL connection via my mobile phone to connect to the Internet.

There are two types of ADSL modems.

1. Very old that are MODEMS only.
2. Modern ( for many years) that are a modem /Router/Wireless.

Since it was not mentioned which was being used it was a bit awkward to give a correct answer. If every one assumed it was already a wireless the responses were correct.

Its a bit like me saying -- I want you to get me a pair of pants that are the same color as my t-shirt please ??

But you may ask - what colour is my T-Shirt - You wouldn't know because I haven't told you. :)
