yo VR, is your laptop equipped with wireless processor? centrino or some kind? if not, then you need a wireless card, with wireless router to recieve the data sent from the wireless router. make sense right? easy as that ni moola. router gives, receiver recives. nowadays, go to bestbuy, wireless G router costs about 60 or so. receiver costs about 40 around. not sure how much. just make sure you get wireless card with your router. you ll be fine, and if you want to share the connection, don't make it secure, so whoever comes around your house with wireless capability, they can use the connection. unless they download shit load and are possible to invade your privacy. just make sure, you make secure ...do whatever you like! eheh
