is there anyway around this and what else will i need to make sure all laptops share the internet connection they will all be in seperate rooms

do i need to buy network pci cards and recievers?

First is it a ADSL modem router, or just a router?

Second you need wireless cards in the devices that you want to recieve wireless networking

[y-it-earp]

its a router as my connection is not adsl i believe could be wrong but there are 3 latops and i've had a look around some shops and could buy a router with built in modem to replace the modem i have now but i dont know if my connection is adsl or not just not sure

[Nivek]

quick way, how do you currently connect to the internet with that account?

the amount you pay will also tell.

[y-it-earp]

yes my account is adsl wandadoo, im networking 3 notebooks from a wireless router which will replace the current modem

im armed with most of the facts but im not sure if this laptop has the wireless network card its a brand new vaio

what am i looking for in device manager

i have PCMCIA adapters
generic cardbus controller

and PCMCIA and flash memory devices
intergrated flash media controller


not sure if a wireless network card is there or not

also in network adapters
1394 net adapter
reltek ethernet nic
speedtouch usb adsl ppp
