I have a Dell laptop that I am planning to take to France. The location I'm visiting advertises ADSL and wifi connectivity, but I want to ensure that their connection requirements are the same as the US. In general, does France have the same networking standards (Cat 5 ethernet, 802.11 wireless, DHCP, etc.) as the US for connecting to the internet? Can I expect to connect my laptop to the internet in the same way I do in the US, or do I need different equipment and/or software in France?

 

Thank you,

Troy Schmidt
