I have an Acer Extensa 2300. I want to connect it to an existing internet connection thing that we use for our desktop computer. So I plug in the modem thing that plugs into our desktop into my laptop, but it doesn’t work. Do I have to set up something on my laptop? I’d like it to be wireless. If I plug a wireless adapter into my laptop would it be able to connect to the modem that is used for the desktop?

My laptop has wifi but Im only picking a couple locked networks from neighbors. I’ve been told that I don’t have wireless internet here at the house so my laptop wont pick it up. I use an embarq router. Is there anyway i can get my laptop to connect to the embarq network here at my house?

Basicly I can’t get my bt home hub to connect to my HP laptop. I know there is nothing wrong with the Internet connection itself because it works on my PC. It says on my laptop that the connection is working but when I try and open firefox or msn it doesnt work. I have tried resetting the home hub and the connection on the laptop but it didn’t work.

I have a linksys router connected to a desktop computer through an ethernet cable and my laptop connects to the router wirelessly. I am trying to figure out how to set it up so I can use the printer that is connected to the desktop through my laptop. I know you need to set up a network on the desktop and connect to it through the laptop, but I can’t figure it out. I have an emachines computer and a Toshiba vista laptop.

I have desktop computer that has a printer plugged into it. The desktop runs Windows XP. I also have a laptop that runs Windows Vista. I have a wireless router connected to the desktop so I can connect my laptop to the internet, but can I wirelessly print things off my laptop? My husband uses the desktop for school and I use the laptop for work and I’d rather not have to keep switching the plugs around.
