I bought a Dell laptop with a internal wireless card in it. Can I use this at home with a router connected to dialup, or through my home pc running dialup? Is a wireless router only good on dsl, cable, or sat connection. Will I be able to pick up a wifi connection at certain airports, libraries, etc? Will the laptop pickup these connection automatically when in these areas. Thank you for the responses.

does yahoo phone service work on dialup how is quality?I know skype does not work, is yours different?
I’m running World Community Grid software on a Windows XP SP2 system. The program downloads a work unit, then processes it for a varying time period, usually several hours, then needs to connect to server to upload results and download a new work unit. It needs to call up dialup networking to do so. It does this with no problem in Windows 98SE, but not in XP.
When I start IE on my XP system, it calls up dialup networking, dials and connects as it should, so I know my connection is correctly configured. Can anybody help with this?
I tried running in different compatibility modes – it wouldn’t run at all in 95 or 98 mode- got a missing dll error. Ran OK in 2000 mode, but had original problem, not calling up dailup networking. Any other suggestions?

In my office at work, we have a network with a high speed internet connection. However, sometimes we need to transmit data over a dialup connection. This only happens a few times a day, but sometimes different people are trying to use the dialup connection at the same time and we only have one line dedicated to a dialup connection.
So my question is, is there a way to share that dialup connection with different computers so they don’t have to wait for the other user to disconnect?

This is not a problem with my computer, but a problem with a computer of my supervisor at work. Her computer was working fine, until one day, when her computer suddenly proclaimed an error 797, which, according to the error description, was due to the ‘modem being busy or not found’. She does not know what caused this, and whenever she tries to connect (she has a dial-up connection), the modem does not try to dial — it immediately throws that error. Looking at her computer, I noted that her modem did not appear in the Device Manager, and also that something called a ‘PCI Communications Controller’ had a question mark beside it — indicative of an error with the associated drive. We have tried to reinstall the modem (with the Creative CD that she had), but the reinstallation does not seem to have work. We were wondering if anyone had any other suggestions, because she is desperately in need of checking her e-mail. Thanks. =)
