Park outside of my house; everybody else does.\n\nSeriously, you can look for internet hotspots.  That would be a business (coffee shops are good for this) that has  a wireless router. \n\nIf your laptop finds an access point, but can't get an IP address it could be the router you're trying to access has already given out its quota of addresses. My wireless router will give out 10 IP addresses and that's it.

Unless you want to carry a satellite dish around with you, there is no way to "always" have the internet while travelling.  Here are your options:\n\nRegular modem - limited to 56Kbps - you must have a phone cable, access to a phone jack (some payphones have these, as do most airplane telephones), and have a dial-up access number for your ISP. \n\nWireless modem (or AirCard) - available from wireless phone companies, like Verizon.  Typically gives you 14.4-19.2 Kbps speeds.  You must be able to get a signal from your wireless carrier, and you must have a dial-up access number for your ISP.  You are not allowed to use wireless modems on board airplanes.  Some wireless companies (such as Verizon) have recently introduced wireless broadband-speed connections for a hefty monthly fee.  The coverage areas for their services is severely limited, however (usually to major metropolitan areas). \n\nWiFi - Gives you the ability to access WiFi "hot spots" which are provided by some retail businesses, airports, hotels, and coffee shops.  The speed depends on the type of internet connection the "hot spot" is using.  You typically must be within a few hundred feet of the business offering the "hot spot" and you usually must pay a seperate daily or monthly access fee to use their serivce.  T-Mobile (http://www.t-mobile.com) has a network of hotspots around the country, including at most Starbucks Coffee locations.\n\nHope this helps.

There are three methods you can use. \n\n1. If your laptop is wireless enabled, you can find either 'hotspots' in public places, or an unsecured wireless network, and log onto that, giving you internet access. \n\n2. You can buy a data card, a PCMCIA card which goes into one of the slots on your laptop. You insert a mobile phone sim card, and off you go. Both Vodaphone and T-Mobile in the UK do decent ones on contract.\n\n3. If you have the software CD that came with your mobile, you can use it asa modem via either a cable connection (USB), the Infra-Red port on the laptop or, if the laptop has it, bluetooth. \n\nAny one of those options will do the trick. For convenience, the data card is the best, if most expensive, option - you have to buy the card or sign a contract to get a free one, although the cost of transferring data is quite small.... I have a T-Mobile GSM card, which cost £160 when it was new, but I get 100Mb of data a month free. The mobile phone route is the cheapest in terms of equipment, but make sure you check how much your phone provider will charge you for receiving data - it can be quite expensive per meg of data transferred.

If all you're doing is using a laptop and want to log in at a Starbucks or other location with wireless internet access (hotspot), all you need is a wireless adapter (USB is probably the most popular and convenient for you).  Wireless adapters come in several flavors (i.e., wireless-b, wireless-g and pre-n).  Wireless b is cheapest and slowest (older techology), but should work for your purposes.  You can't go wrong with wireless-g, which is the most popular now.  Load the driver software (on CD-ROM) that comes with the adapter, then plug the adapter in, and you should be ready to go.  The cost for this can be as little as about $20, if you shop around on the internet (you can always find decent deals on passwird.com and techbargains.com).  If you're setting up a network at home, you'll need a router, which you plug into your cable or dsl modem.  The cost of the router and adapter together can cost as little as about $60, depending on whether you go wireless-b or wireless-g).

Hi\n\n1) Plug the phone line into the back of the router (remember to fit a microfilter)\n\n2) Connect the Router to each of the PC's that you want to connect to the internet using either a network cable or a wireless card.\n\n3) In a web browser on one of the PC's that are connected to the router, enter the following in the address bar: 192.168.0.1. Press enter and you should reach you router config.  (if 192.168.0.1 doesn't work then have a look in your manual for the default IP of the router)\n\n4) In the config for the router there should be an option that allows you to enter your user name and password for you ISP. Enter the details that the ISP gave you into here and click 'connect'. Your router should now connect to the internet. (assuming you've entered all the correct details).\n\nGood luck!!
