Okay so i just got my laptop yesterday, and im wondering how can i connect to the same internet connection like i have on my home computer? i have sbc yahoo dsl and a box for the home computer to connect to the internet but i know theres a way you can also have/use the same connection onto your laptop. my friend did that on her computer because she has sbc yahoo dsl also except a different box ( a little more expensive one) but she tried to help me with mine but its not the same...iunno if its b/c her comp is XP and mine is vista..iunno. but the thing is..we can connect because sending out but we cant recieve anything!!* i dont knwo if you guys have ideas before i call sbc to help me out..but any help will do.

well the desktop computer is connected through the eternet cable to the dsl/modem box (little black box) and the laptop isnt connected to anything since i think its wireless. i just dont know why i cant connect my laptop to the internet while she can do that to hers. she has her connected through something called 2wire..something and i have it on my laptop but i dont know if i have that on my box she bought the expensive box from sbc..on my laptop when u go to network connections..it has 2 or 3 different connections..and i didnt set those up..they were there already..they have one called linksy (sp), 2wire something, and something else..sorry i dont have it turned on right now..but im wonder if i have to buy something but i dont think i need to but im not sure..
