Only diff is the wireless The laptop you buy, will probably have WIFI built in. All you have to do is configure it, the same way you would, with ethernet. Other thing you have to remember is to secure the wireless. With a password |

| 671353 | 2008-05-22 02:47:00 | Sounds wonderful, I'm thinking wireless modems aren't hideously expensive so that part shouldn't be too painful! And all I need to do is ensure the laptop I buy has WIFI built in? As for configuring, stand by for another round of questions if I can't figure out what I'm doing once I get to that stage! | Beemer (6956) | ||
