I bought a laptop, a 3com wireless card, and I also have DSL high speed internet. Pls tell me how can I use my laptop away from home. I heard some are using there cell phones but i have seen people online using there laptops on the internet and I didn't see any connection far as a cell phone. What are they doing to get a signal.

They may be using an Air Card. It's driven by a celluar connection.
