Put the whole internet on a single laptop? … Oh my
Seriously though, to hook up the laptop to internet you do the same thing you did to hook up your desktop to the internet (apparently you have access to the internet already).
Of course your Laptop needs some kind of modem (a network adapter).
What you’re looking to do is to install a ‘wireless’ network card (PCMCIA-type Card) on your laptop. Installed, you can connect to a wireless router that is usually connected to an High-Speed Internet Service Provider.
If you don’t have a wireless router, or don’t have someone that can provide you access to a wireless router — some phone companies will offer you a service plan to connect to their Internet service. These are generally costly, requires a yearly commitment and targeted for the corporate worker.
If I read you question correctly I think you are asking for a repuable Internet Service Provider (ISP.) If you are doing dial up, AOL is solid but overpriced. Others are Hotmail, Yahoo, Juno, NetZero, People PC just to name a few. Any provider that gets you to the net consistantly is all you want. Now if you are looking at high speed, DSL or Cable are the two best. Check with your local phone company.
