Right now my sister is on broadband and i am stuck with crappy dial up because i just cannot get my laptop to communicate with the networ/router. Every time i go to the wireless network icon in control panel it tells me my laptop is set up successfuly for a wireless network
What do i need to do just to get broad band on my laptop?
I tried plugging the router out of my sisters pc and into my laptop, but the ethernet connector bit at the end is the wrong shape for the ethernet port on my laptop.
Can someone PLEASE help me!!
PS the usb i got was not linksys, becauae all the linksys ones were sold out. But does the usb adaptor have to be the same brand as the router?

Ask LD to send you the email that I sent her on how to setup her router. This will secure it.
Also, let me know the model of the wireless "thingy" you got. After I look it up, then I can tell you how to connect it. It sounds as if you have it installed so at this point it sounds like just a driver issue.
I have a hodge podge of networking equipment and they all talk fine to each other.
