how do you install a modem?

it all depends on the type of modem. If it is an internal PCI card, you have to open the case, physically install it into a white slot, screw it down, and close the case back. Make sure you unplug the puter while it is open. The boot the computer up, if it is a modem that windows supports with native drivers, it will install it. If it can't it will ask for the driver disk. put it in the cdrom, wait about 30 seconds and click next, or OK, which ever it says. From then on, just follow directions. If you use AOL, next time you gp to sign on, it will search for the peoper commands and use it.\n\nIf it is external, then it must be plugged into the corresponding port on the computer, if it is new one, most likely USB. the same thing with the software, and follow the instructions included with the modem. \n\nIf it is a cable modem, theh follow the instructions, it will go in easier, and you will have less problems. If it is a DSL modem, it is pretty much the same, just follow instructions. very important to do the things in the right order for success.

you don't need a cdrom to "install" internet connections.  You may however need to install some programs or depending on your isp they may have some programs/files they want you to use when accessing your account (yahoo browser, aol browser etc.)\nYou just need to know either the phone number to dial in to your internet provider or hook up a lan (ethernet) cable to the laptop and a high speed modem or install a wireless card to connect wirelessly to the internet.  It all depends on how you are going to connect.\nFirst go to the control panel and select internet options, then go to the connections tab, then you can enter th information there for how you connect.

you need to get a ROUTER. make sure that the 1 pc thats on dial up has a "nic card" (thats a cat5 port, alittle larger than a telephone plug)  once you get the router.\n1. unplug the DSL modem\n2. plug in the DSL Modem and wait till its finished booting up\n3. now plug in the Router to the DSL modem\n4. now plug in pc1 & pc2 to the router. this will give them both the ability to access the DSL\n\n*note: sometimes the router will need to be configuered correctly, usually you can just put it right into the equation.\nAlso sometimes the DSL modem might need to be unplugged for a minute or more so it can clear its memory before you connect it to the router

The comfiguration options are in control panel, internet, you choose lan.  And you either have to have USB 2.0 drivers or you have to have a NIC installed [physically, and drivers], depending on how you connect your computer to the modem.

You probably need to speak with your ISP company. They probably gave you a booklet / paper with the necessary information on it.\n\nIf you already have it set up, and you are just finding it for interest sake, click start, run, type in "cmd" (without quotations) and then type "Ipconfig /all". That will give you a list of your connection to the modem/router. If you're looking for the info of your modem, you'll need to consult your modem documentation.

It's different for each ISP. Most times they will send you a kit that includes software and modem. The software cd usually handles the setup and just requires you to answer questions and follow instructions. Here's Bellsouth instructions for setting up a dsl modem with windows 98: \nhttp://support.fastaccess.com/sdcuser/asp/dsl/default.asp?usertype=DSL\nSince you have the modem, you could get info from www.dslreports.com or your isp's knowledgebase to help you complete the setup. Just enter the modem make and model # and look for the setup for 98. \n(just upgrade to xp, it'll save you alot of tech support calls and OS reloads).

A modem should do it...

It ain't pretty, but you need a second NIC in the computer that will connect to the modem. Use the connection wizard to connect direct to the internet (modem) on the first computer. Set the second computer to access the internet thru another computer or router. Use a crossover cable to connect the first and second computer via NIC #2.
