Hello Douglas,

thanks for the model number. In that case what I said in my previous message re a wireless LAN card is more than likely what you will need.

Best wishes,

Clive Pallett

Sorry, George - I should have included that information in my original
message. It is a SatellitePro A10 - rather elderly, but it still does what I
need.

Subject: [access-uk] Wireless connection to a laptop

I am trying to decide on a strategy for switching to
Broadband in the near future.

Initially I will probably settle for a USB or ethernet
connection to the desktop machine, but for obvious reasons a
wireless connection to my Toshiba laptop would be
preferable.

It seems that I could buy a router offering both wireless
and wired connectivity, but I cannot figure out whether the
laptop already has all that is required (after
configuration) to establish
the wireless connection or requires extra hardware such as
something in the PC card slot.
The Toshiba manual contains a large amount of information
about wireless connections but
I have yet to find an answer to my query.   I thought that
the solution was to look in the XP
Device Manager but I am not really sure what I am looking
for.

Any pointers would be much appreciated - it Is no doubt very
obvious that on anything to do with broadband and wireless I
am even more ignorant than on other computer related matters
(if that is possible!).

Thanks in advance,


Douglas
