2686M5U

im pretty new so can you plz tell me step-by-step what to buy/do

ps. there IS a wireless capability for this laptop right? i only need a router, right? it says

Integrated Gigabit Ethernet
56K V.92 designed modem
None
Fingerprint Reader Embedded Security Subsystem 2.0

for the brief description... the "none" is the "wireless"
but on the detailed description, it is not different than the other T43 models

what does that mean

if that is your laptop then you don't need to buy wifi card, the laptop already have it. it says here:

Wireless Networking Components
Wireless speed 11b:11Mbps, 11g:54Mbps
Wireless Standard[10] Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG
Wireless Type LAN
Antenna Ultra Connect
Description Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG
Frequency 802.11b/g: 2.4GHz
Wireless Implementation (Form Factor) Mini PCI


so, i assume you have ADSL or broadband at home, then you need to buy a wireless router. i have linksys wrt54G(don't take version 5). Don't buy wiresless bridge, rather buy Wireless router so you have 4wired ports behind in case the other pc doesn't have wireless card.
