I want to give a laptop as a gift and would like to know what else would I need to purchase in addition to the laptop? How would I set up the connection? Is there a monthly fee?

I bought a laptop and am trying to make it so that I can share files between the desktop and the laptop, and also print from the laptop directly to the printer that’s connected to the desktop.

I had a working LAN already with the printer sharing working fine.

Here is the setup:

A cable modem, connected to a linksys router, which has wifi enabled but also is connected via ethernet cable to the desktop PC (windows xp). The laptop (Vista) can connect to the wireless network just fine but cannot see the desktop and therefore use any of its resources. The router assigns IPs to both comps just fine w/ dhcp and both comps can get online. Just can’t talk to each other for some reason.

My laptop hasn’t been working on battery power lately and I want to know if it’s a problem with the actual battery or my laptop. Like I said, the battery power button DIRECTLY ON THE BATTERY is indicating 25% and 75% and that doesn’t make sense to me. Thanks in advance for the help!

The monitor on my laptop isn’t working. There are these very thin, colored wires which connect the monitor to the laptop (keyboard) by the hinges. Two of the wires are ripped apart. I don’t have the skills to repair it myself so how much will it cost to have someone repair those wires? If those wires can’t be repaired, how much will it cost to buy a new laptop screen?

I want to connect my laptop to the tv. I need specific instructions on how to configure my laptop. I have an s video cable, and my laptop is a HP Pavilion with Windows XP. I am using a 4 pin S Video cable. The laptop has a 7 pin S Video jack. Does that affect it?
