Hi Alexander,
From what you describe, it appears that you wife has a
normal, hard-wire, RJ45 connection, which is used to connect
to a router or such like with a cable.
However, without knowing the specific make and model of your
wife's laptop, one cannot be 100% certain that it does not
already have wireless capability. It may simply be
disabled.
George.

Subject: [access-uk] URGENT advice required regarding
wireless and wired network connections with BT broadband
Hi all,
As of Friday both my wife and myself are going broadband
with BT.
I have just discovered a problem with my wife's Toshiba
laptop computer, as she has the option in network
connections to create a LAN high speed internet connection.
When I put the cursor on Local Area Network it says
something about Intel NTR Pro V net.
The problem is that on my Acer machine I have the option to
create a wireless network however going by the information I
have coppied above it looks as if my wife does not have that
option.
My question is considering that the broadband is being
fitted on Friday, do I need to go out and purchase a
wireless network card for my wife's machine so that we can
both be connected wirelessly, or considering that we both
have laptops, is it worth going ahead and connecting them
together with a wired network as my Acer Laptop has both
options.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Alexander Shannon
