Gazza,

Apologies if I am wrong but I am beginning to think that you are under the impression that your onboard wireless will negate the need for a dial up modem cable to your phone line.

Unfortunately it is not that simple.:smileycry:

You will need:

a broadband connection
b network modem
c router
d wireless access point

or a one box solution that does b,c&d

Then finally you need a lot of patience to get it all working, but once it is you will live happily ever after.

I couldn't agree more William

You don't really need broadband to go wireless anyway, though you would have to leave a PC on.

Wireless what?

Do you use someone elses broadband (neighbour?), what other use is wireless on one PC/laptop?

No William, if you have more than one PC, you don't need broadband to have a WLAN at all.

One PC would have to have the modem on though.

Kee-Lo,
I agree, perhaps I misread earlier posts.

It would be nice if the original poster gave us comprehensive info on ALL of what he's got.
