How do I get an internet connection?

Though the answer above may potentially solve some issues I don't think it will fix yours. \n\nThe answer would depend on a few things. \n\nWhat kind of internet connection do you have at home? if it is a broadband connection (high speed dsl, cable, satalite) then you could get a Wireless router from best buy or walmart or almost anywhere anymore. Follow the directions that come with it and that will allow both computers on at the same time.\n\nIf you don't want to buy a router then you can simply plug the Ethernet cord (oversized phone cord) from the desktop in to your laptop then call your service provider for assistance from there.  \n\nIf you are using Dial up then your best bet is to install the same ISP software on your laptop as you use on your desktop and set it up the same way then just plug into the phone line.

First off, make sure you are connected online (not working offline). Next, check your internet connection properties to see what it is allowing to connect through the internet (make sure it isnt just internet explorer or your web browser). Finally, go to the program you are trying to connect and find the Connection settings and see how you are connecting to the internet. If it is looking through a proxy server or through a specific IP, it wouldnt do you much good would it. Finally, make sure you to to toos --> internet options --> connections and either LAN Settings or Dial-up Settings and check on Automatically Detect Settings and do not use Proxy server.

Hooking up in a wireless connection is somehow easy. Make sure your wireless card was installed properly and that you must have a router too and wireless  is enabled on your router ( depends on what brand)... Have your ISP username and password ready for authentication, if not call your provider. \n\nIf you are using Win XP w/ SP2 then just try to view your wireless connection and check if there is any wireless connection available in your network. Try to connect and if not successful check if you got error message. You can visit microsoft.com about wireless connectiviy.Check for this error message: "limited or no connectivity".\n\nYou can also check you default gateway (run > cmd > ipconfig /all) and access it using your browser.\n\nConnecting it "hard-wired" ( using an ethernet cable ) would let you configure it easier bu accessing you modem and getting info tehre on whats best thing to do.\n\nTake note that if your wireless card or adpater is insatlled properly then you dont need to do the steps i stated above. Try viewing your wireless network if theres any and try to connect. Having a hard time accessing it, call your internet service provider.\n\nPLease enable WEP key on your router for your own security. Good luck!

Hi, is it dial up or broadband.  Broadband is designed specifically for a permanent connection.  Dial up can be configured to connect when a web application opens.  First thing to check is your startup folder.  Open start menu>programs>startup and if there are any applications there will start on booting up.  Web applications will start your internet connection.  Then check internet options from Control Panel.  Click on the connections page at the top.  There should be options to:\nAlways connect.\nOnly connect when there isn't a network connection (For broadband users)\nAnd Never connect.\nIf you choose the last option you will have manual control of the connection.

Depends on if this is an always on connection or a log-in connection.\n \nEither way try this, open Internet Explorer and Look at your options at the top, choose Tools.\nThen select Internet Options.\nIn the small pop-up window click the Connections Tab.\nThen select the Set-up button.\nThis will start the New Connections Window.\nSelect Next.\nThen select the Connect to Internet option.\nFollow the propmts for your type of connection.\n\nIf it is a always on connection it is the easiest option.\nThe others take the type of configuration needed by your Internet Provider. Add the information they provided you with (Log-in and password etc.)  to the appropriate areas and you now should be able to get on the internet.

You can try many means of connection as Cable and Satellite as they pointed out. You can also use a Wireless Mobile Phone to browse the Internet, say thru GPRS or EDGE. Many smart phones and other phones allow the phone to act as a modem! So there you go! Or you can prefer to go Wi-Fi or WiMax in a area if there is coverage, like an internet hot-spot for example!

There should be an icon on the right bottom corner that has a bubble that pops up when it detects wireless internet. Apparently your computer has a built-in wireless card so it should pick up signal. It is probably turned off, you can turn it on by going to the bottom right corner and looking for the icon with the little signal bars (sort of like on ur cellphone). Right click it and see what the status is, you might be getting low connectivity that does not allow you to connect. If it's not on, turn it on (enable). Your internet should work, it might not the first couple of times you open internet explorer (or whatever browser you use), but it will. Try it out at a library, coffee shop, or any place that offers free wi-fi.\nHope this helps

You need DSL or cable or some sort of ISP. To connect to LAN you will need to connect your computer to your ISP, usually via ethernet. Normally once you plug the ethernet into your computer, then you can use LAN to connect.\n\nGo to this website: http://www.cablemodemhelp.com/lanconnect.htm\n\nand it will explain it better with pictures =)
