wireless notebook

what do I need to be able to sit in my livingroom and be able to surf the net. I received a Dell truemobile 1150 wireless LAN adapter with my notebook ( Inspiron 200N) but dont know what else I require.I would also like to plug my Playstion 2 in so I can play online and would like to be able to use my printer wirelessly. Any help would be appreciated.

    You need a wireless router to transmit your internet connection throughout  your house so you can then connect with your wireless LAN adapter in your notebook. To connect your printer wirelessly you will aso need a wireless print server which plugs in to the printer (unless your printer has an ethernet port). Linksys offer good wireless connectivity products. With regard to your Playstation conection I'm not a gamer so I am unsure.

    first of all, you will need a cable or dsl broadband connection.  you will then need a wireless router (dlink has one selling for $20 right now).

    as for the printer, you will need a wireless print server if it's not connected directly to a computer -- these are pricey and you may lose some printer features

    as for the playstation, it can be plugged directly into the router (assuming it supports ethernet), or you can buy a wireless to ethernet bridge
