donna Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 ok, i just bought myself a new laptop. have been using desktop at home with adsl(ish) connection in phuket. my question is, can i just unplug the network cable from the back of my desktop and stick it straight into my laptop with no configuation at all, or do i have to get it configured for the router? ive not tried it yet as im still copying files over via thumb drive! long process but at least it will be done before i sell the sucker.

RKASA Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I have a usb keyboard and mouse sharing a usb port. It lets me use the laptop at home like a disk top full size keyboard and reg. mouse. The laptop is like a monitor with extra keyboard. When I travel I take my wireless mouse and use the laptop keyboard. I do hate the laptop touchpad mouse.
