1. does your laptop have a wired or wireless connection
if wireless, yes she can, if wired, it may be difficult.
please excuse my stupidity...how do I found out if it has wireless or not...sorry to be so thick
basically do you need to plug it in to anything but a power cable to connect to the internet?
do you have a modem that you have to enter a pin/code for to connect it to the computer?
I have a connection to the back of my computer from the telephone line, but while I have been trying to load from the BT disc the my wifes computer tells me I need to have cables attached to her laptop
when you click the start button on your laptop to get your programs up there should be "connect to" option, click on that and you will get a few options ie your neighbours internet. click on the one which is yours and it will ask for a password,this should be on your router put it in and you connect wirelessly.
Thank you all very much...sorted !!!!
