-=PCTechTalk=- Re: router hookup to laptop

HI
Ok since this is a college situation, (Assuming they are in a college apt. I am 
not clear on that 
point) the college should have some tech's in their computer department to help 
students with the 
set up. Suggest you or she contact the college (maybe start with the college 
main computer lab) 
computer department and see if she needs to be assigned a password to get on 
the college network. I 
think you can take the laptop with you to the college computer department and 
they will help set it 
up. If so, be sure to take good notes on how that is done for the future. The 
college might have an 
on line web page that tells how to configure the computer to get on the college 
network.

Even if they are in their own apt, I am sure that to get on the college network 
you will have to 
register with the college and get a password.

That covers taking care of setting up the putter to get connected to the 
college network. Still have 
to get connected to the router.

If the router is college supplied, the college should be able to help you get 
logged on to it. If it 
is a personal router, then someone must have the instructions for it (and 
someone set theirs up to 
work on the router, check with that person). If they don't try going on line 
(using a room mates 
puter or a college lab computer) and see if you can locate the manual and d/l 
it and print it out. 
Read and follow the instructions. Good Luck.

Life is what happens in between plans.
