Hi

I got this T20 2647-31U from work.

Doesn't this thing have an inbuilt NIC?

The previous owner has been using a PCMCIA card.

Thanks.

No, it shipped with only a modem installed. But you can easily upgrade to a combo modem/NIC mini-PCI card. They're widely available on eBay for around $10 shipped.

James

Hi James!

Thanks for the reply.

But this ebay solution wouldn't be an internal solution, would it?

Yes, it is.

There is a small door on the bottom. Remove one screw, pop out the modem, insert the modem/NIC, hook up a couple cables and you are rocking.

Just make sure you get a Mini-PCI card, not a PCMCIA card.

Or just search for "combo mini pci" in laptop parts and accessories.

Thank you again.

I was searching on mini-PCI.

And thanks to CChoi83 for telling me about these forums!

You're very welcome Araina.

When you get your card, here's the movie that shows how to install it!

Don't you believe him!

It's the fact that my family makes single malt scotch.
