Wireless internet service for my Dell laptop
I know this question has been asked many times before in a variety of ways, so you'll have to excuse my density.
Apparently I need the answer in extremely simplistic layman's terms in order for it to make any sense to me.
I just purchased a Dell Latitude D600 Pentium 4 1400Mhz laptop (256megabytes of PC 2100 DDR memory, 30GB, Window XP Pro). It has:
- Internal wireless 802.11 card
- Built-in 56K modem
- Built-in 10/100 network card
- Two internal USB slots
- An internal wireless slot
It can supposedly "connect to any wireless hot spot" and is "dial-up and high-speed DSL/cable internet ready right out of the box."
Here's the thing: I don't know what
any of this means to me in terms of establishing an internet connection. All I want is to be able to access the internet wirelessly. I understand that it's possible to establish a network with my PC. While that might be a possibility in the future, and
believe me I'll need help doing it when the time comes, my PC's DSL service is inactive at the moment so I must connect my laptop using another means.
Step-by-step instructions on what to do from those of you who know a whole lot more about such things than I would be very much appreciated.
