I travel in my work, and I'm sick of hotels charging $10 a night for internet access, or not having internet access, or having it, 'but it's broken', etc.

I'm thinking of one of those plug-in devices that connect your Laptop to the internet via the cell phone network. But I want SPEED! what's the fastest network out there for that? Reliability and cost is important too, but not as important as speed.

I have tried to install this wireless usb adapter. It seemed to be working but there was no connection. I uninstalled it to try again but now it wont let me install it again.. just keeps asking if i want to uninstall. Plus, it will not remove from add/remove programs. Anyone else had experience with this?

I am going to BestBuy today and buying a laptop. I have Verizon DSL at home and I want to use it for my laptop too but wirelessly. Do I need to get anything to set this internet connection up. I heard about routers but which one should I get if i do need one.

I had wmconnect (Netscape),l looked at some others --unclear wether they support vista, or have local access numbers, or I'll need to get a nic card, or one time charges, etc. Any suggestions, or know any good reliable deals?

Hello I just started using a Linksys wired router BEFSR41, i believe its the v.4 version, but i am not sure. And i was wondering how can I add a computer to this router. I currently have my downstairs computer using it, and it's working fine, but I can't get my upstairs computer to get an internet connection using the wired router. Whenever I try to get the upstairs computer to get connected, it asks me to dial a number and i don't know what to dial, i put in my phone number but it doesn't work. Do i have to connect something from the phone to the router. or somehting from the upstairs computer to the router.
Thank You so much
Johnny
Oh yeah, they are both PC's

Can computers on a domain see computers on a workgroup? I need to slowly migrate our large workgroup to a domain, but I'm wondering if a pc on a domain (Win XP) can see a 2003 Server on a workgroup. Thanks!

My broadband speed , I am with BT internet, has decreased the last couple of weeks from over 3mb to just 3 to 700 kb. I am sick and tired of speaking via email to Ranjit and his mates giving me all the old tests to do that I have done a thousand times, How do I get the BT engineers to check the line , as Ranjit ET AL seem to take no notice?

I have a netgear router, and wireless network set up. My server is set to be part of "workgroup" as is my vista laptop, vista desktop. My Apple is set to a network called "roberts." When I got to my network places on my vista machines I can see the other vista machine and the apple computer but not the server. I go to entire windows network and still cannot reach the server. I have all firewalls turned off. I the router set up with port forwarding to allow for remote connections. I enabled the remote desktop and can access my server from vista but not vista from the server. Any ideas?

I have a Cable internet connection and ever since i set up my home network and connected my cable modem to the router, my internet connection has been slowed down dramatically.
My computer tech said that since i had wanted to set up a Secure Network it'd be slowed down, but not much, but the speed im at now is just ridiculous. Can someone help please.

I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 531s, which is a slim model. It's only about 4 inches wide. My old network card did not fit as it was too wide. What kind of network card should I get? I was thinking I could get a laptop network card since those are very small, but I don't know if that would be compatible with my desktop pc.. So any suggestions?

I've had comcast for almost 3 months now and it used to work great (7meg+ speed) until today. The download speed = 600kbps
Upload Speed =1.1mbps. Sometimes it reaches 200kbps. I don't know what the problem is. I have restarted the modem and my router a couple of times but I haven't seen any change. Has this ever happened to you?

I just downloaded iTunes and am a brand new user. I am using a router on my internet right now, and am going off of my roomate's network. iTunes is not connecting to the store and help said that it is because of my router. There is no way I can connect a direct DSL cable to my computer. Is there any way I can get around the router and connect to the store so I can start downloading my music? Same thing goes with Real Player, Windows Media Player and other music downloading services. Thanks!

Is this a way I can bypass my router that is currently hooked up to the modem? If so, that would be great. I personally don't like being behind a firewalled router that I don't have access to.

I have an Airport Express base station. I am able to use the wirless connection it supplies with both my iBook and my PC no problem, however on my Mac G5, I can't! I have an Airport Extreme card properly installed, it's right there on my System Profiler, yet it can't find ANYTHING to connect to - even though in this area there are at least 4 networks including my own that my PC has no trouble seeing. I am tearing my hair out here!! Help!!
