I am completely and utterly new to this, so please excuse
my ignorance, lack of termnology, and so forth. Anyone who
would care to walk me through this I would greatly
appriciate.
I am a recent HS Graduate, and have purchased a <a
href="http://costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?
prodid=11000537">Toshiba</a> laptop with the following
communication features:
Integrated V.92/56K modem; data and fax support
Integrated 10/100 Ethernet LAN
Integrated Wireless LAN (Atheros 802.11b/g)
Now, what does this entitle me too?
I would like to use the wireless capabilty. A friend of
mine once upon a time had wireless on his laptop, but was
not signed up for service and simply tapped in on his
neighbors, or surrounding office buildings' networks. What
do I need to purchase to do this same thing? This being
temporary, of course, I'd like to purchase my own wireless
service. What do I need to buy for that, and who offers
that kind of service?
I apologize if this all has been asked before, and I
appriciate anyone who read through it all. Any advice
would be meeted with extreme gratitude. Thank you very,
very much.
