I have a Laptop with a built-in Wi-Fi switch, which i use to connect to internet from hotspots. I want to connect my Laptop to my PC, so i can share files and play games on LAN. What should i buy to plug into my PC, to achieve this?

Would such a gadget (if there is any) make it possible to also share my wired ADSL connection, which at the moment is connected to my PC?

Thanks in advance..!

Is the AVG program that you can download for free any good, or should I spend money on a good program? What's the best one that's out there that's not too expensive?

If I buy a GENUINE copy of Vista, but one that has been installed on another PC already; will it activate properly? I'm asured it will, but I would have thought this is the PRECISE reason for the long code you have to put in; to mkae sure it is not registered elsewhere? Otherwise I guess everyone in the world could install from the same CD with the same code and all would work fine and Microsoft would view them all as 'legal'?

HOpe you can help...

I can not get to www.listjoe.com on my computer.
It is a valid site but for some reason my comtuper will give the following message when I try to log onto it:

The connection has timed out

The server at listjoe.com is taking too long to respond.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

My computer's network connection is working fine because I can get onto other sites. I believe I have disabled my firewall but am still not able to get onto the site. I'm not sure what I need to do about the proxy or Firefox being permitted to access the web issue.

I have also tried using the Internet Explorer browser and will get the "The page cannot be displayed" message.

Is the fix somewhere on my computer?

We are about buy a couple of new computers for our office. We traditionally have bought off-brand computers from our computer guy. I assume he makes a few bucks on the sale which is fine. However, are the name brand (Dell, etc...) better than the off brand computers? I want something that will last 5+ years without major problems. What would you buy and why?
