I have a laptop and I want to have an access to the internet but I don't have a working home?


Question:
Honestly speaking, I don't know anything about laptop or internet or any technical terms in the world of computers so if you can pls explain it to me in details (ie. what gadgets I need, how does it works, etc...) I would appreciate it a lot.

Answer:
Ok lets see if this helps. Lets start with your machine.

First you need to know if you computer can handle an internet connection. To do this check Start Menu>Control Panel>System>Harware Panel>Device Manager. And try find if theres anything listed under Network Adapters (if its a fairly new laptop it should list atleast a ethernet adapter or a "Wireless" adapter) If it lists one, good you may not need to buy any additional gadgets for your laptop.

Next, check for an "Internet Service Provider" in your area. Normally the easiest and cheaper ones are your phone company or cable company, which you can consolidate your bills with. And the good thing is if you deal with them they will send you the "other gadgets" you need to set up the internet with. This usually means a software disc, a modem box(or modem/wireless router combination), ethernet cables(the new standard for a "wired" connection), and perhaps some filter boxes to attach to your phones lines
(so the High speed internet doesn't interfer with your phone, like dial up used to).

Thats all I can think of right now, if you contact one of the possible internet companies they will help you through the process. Please add anything else you may want to know.
