hi again...
the card that was in the laptop is a "data/fax modem...PCMCIA from
IBM"...there is nothing but the card...nothing attched to it. so I went out
and got this "D-Link 10/100 fast ethernet notebook adapter"...and guess what?
I cant install the thing because I dont have a cd-rom inthe laptop...I think
I am about to give up here!! I seem to be getting beat all the way around!
If you have no more ideas that all right...I did put the card into the
laptop, and it fits nicly but there it sits and nothing happened when its
hooked up to the internet....the laptop doesnt even seem to recognize it the
card, but I was hoping something good would happen!! I have hit a dead end
huh?
thanks for all your help!!! pennie

What does the label on the PCMCIA card say? It could be a modem, an
Ethernet card, memory or a number of other things.

hi again..ok, upon looking at the laptop, it has no USB
port...(GASP!)...all
it has is the PMCIA card which I assume should have some sort of wire/cord
attached. my desktop has the modem and router that Mr. Terhune described.
we
are hooked up to
with our cable company...
I do really apologize for not giving all this info to start with...I
thought it would just be a matter of hooking up a serial port cable and
off I
would go!! wow!
but thanks again for taking the time...breezyyb
