Need help with my laptop -Toshiba satillite m35x-s109

I have this system and just bought a new HP laptop that can be wireless but my toshiba one is 3 yrs old, maybe 4 and I want to be able to use it wireless too. :cry Can anyone tell me what card or whatever I need to get to accomplish this. Yes, I'm severly computer challenged! I have heard people talk about some card - but have no clue what they are talking aboutrolleyes

 

Do you mean wireless LAN (networking to other machines) or due you mean wireless internet (logging onto the internet without a hard-wired modem or LAN connection)?

The solution is different for each, but both can come in the shape of a PC card that slots into your lappie. Not familiar with you model but the slot is usually found on the side of the machine, sometimes with a "blank" in the slot or a little flap. An alternative can be a USB dongle/adapter which you plug into a spare USB port.

Ok it does depend on exactly what you already have and what you need.

Do you just want to connect to your other PC and a wireless router? The Router will be connected to your ISP and then you can connect to that via a PCMCIA Wireless Network Adapter also allowing you to establish connections with your other laptop:

Basically there should be a card slot on the side of your laptop where this card can be placed and allow you wireless LAN capacity.

Here is a general link on wireless LAN Networking devices for some examples:

Hope this helps a little.

 

I just want to get online with out having to drag the phone card all over - I feel like a dog on a leash! There is a slot on the right side that can pop out and I can remove a small plastic piece but that is about all I can tell you about it. Thanks for the info.

OK - Now what language was that in. I know it wasn't English. Well, no English that I know. I want to get roadrunner - a cable high speed to get online. I hate the slow connection, dragging the phone line, and tying up the phone. Like I need to get off now cause someone wants the phone. Thanks for the info. even if it was Greek to me.
