I was recently given a laptop for convenience during my pregnancy and to finish up college. It is a fairly new laptop but im unsure of all of its capabilities & even the model. I think it is a HP Pavillion dv1000, if that even helps. It has Windows XP, but this is about all I know about it. It is quite sleek and modern (up-to-date), but my real concern is internet access--I have no idea where or what to start with. I have DSL access at home, but how can I use it via laptop in another room, or in the bed, or is that even possible? I also have access at my university, but what cords/cables/cards do I need? Basically I'm totally in the dark about accessing the internet & if anybody could PLEASE help me, I would appreciate it---if you know of a link with basic info or if you could give me a quick run-down, that would give this college-student, mother-to-be a huge relief!! I'm computer-literate, I just don't know what is needed or where to start, but I can catch on quick so your time will not be wasted. Thanks in advance for any advice!!
