ok im really thinking of getting a laptop and setting up its net connection via wireless router. so has anyone gotten dsl to work on a laptop on a wirelles connection? and also has anyone got DSL to use that little bud mouse?Yes to both of your questions, I am using a old Hitchi laptop with a Orinoco Gold wireless card in it, and I have another Toshba laptop with a Linksys WPC-11 v2.5 wireless card in it. One of the laptops has a touch mouse and the other on has the little button that is in the middle of the keyboard, both work flawless.There was a message in one of the forums a while back where everyone posted what wireless cards they had working. Might try searching for it.
I have an old IBM 560x that I use an Orinoco gold, and a new IBM T42 with an integrated b/g card that I use DSL on.
Both use the little mouse stick in the middle of the keyboard with no problem.for the wireless did you have to set it up? or is it just like running it on a desktop if its dsl u have to put in ur usrnm/pssword

I didn't have to set it up, DSL just detected it and used it, however you can use the wifi setup utility in the control panel to setup your wireless card for more options, such as changing the ssid, and wether it is in managed or ad-hoc mode, ect. As far as entering your username and password everytime, if you chose to use multiple accounts when you were installing to your hard drive, then yes you will have to enter username and password everytime ( I think that is what you were asking).Next Page...
