    Hi

    I've broadband at home via the Chorus TV cable in the living room. I want to make my spareroom an office for study etc.
    How do I access the internet from there on my lappie

    I am guessing I need a wireless pcmcia card and some wireless link thingy to plug the cable into.

    I've attached two pics of what I thinki need ... any ideas?
    where best to buy?

    also want to get a bluetooth dongle, so I can transfer stuff off my phone to the lappie ( I save every message, the completist in me) I just need a USB bluetooth dongle thingy, like I've seen on Komplett for 20euro ?


    Thanks for the help

    get a wireless cable modem such as the Linksys WCG200 or you can buy a wireless router and connect your cable modem to that. Then use wireless card on your laptop to connect. First solution is prob easier to set up.

    Elara,Microaid,Komplett are all good sites to buy from.
