>>Does your cable company give you a router then with wireless capability?
If a router then the Ethernet would work but needed setting up. A wireless adaptor is not that expensive but if your Laptop is newish I would have though it had one already. Ian >> Ian, at this point I'm not sure what the cable rep explained to me. She did say, however, that I would 'reduce the integrity' of the modem if I switched the ethernet from one computer to the other on a regular basis. I don't know that I believe her, but that's what she said. --- On Tue, 11/4/08, Ian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Ian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: [A-1-Computer_Tech] Vista To: [email protected] Date: Tuesday, November 4, 2008, 4:09 AM Does your cable company give you a router then with wireless capability?

Ian>> Actually, yes. When pushed, she told me that I cannot use the Ethernet from the desk top which the cable company installed and put it into the laptop and expect it to work. She said I should get a wireless adapter. That was after she told me I needed to contact the laptop maker for installation instructions. So I figured this was just too much work for me right now, and didn't want to necessarily pay extra for a wireless adapter. The cable co. Told me that I could rent one for another few dollars each month, then the Walmart rep told me that I could buy a wireless adapter. I may do that in the future.
