If it's protected (his wireless) you just need his password to use it, if not then you will just connect automatically.

If your lappy isn't wireless enabled I will explain that if you want Big Grin


Yep, mine is wireless enabled Smiler

Yup. But it all depends on wether the place you are taking it is wifi enabled, and if it is protected or not. If so you just need the SSID or password. BTW all BT homehubs have the passwords printed on the stickers underneath them. Wink

Thanks for the earlier info one and all Clapping

Back again for more info please.

What I should have also said earlier was....The last time I went up me mates I took me lappy too...
*Gets ready for some mild abuse for not stating all the facts earlier*

Well, I could get online using his router but he couldnt then get online, he is hardwired(??).
Or he could get online but I couldn't.
So how do we both get online together??

Sorry for this convoluted explanation.

Heres hoping someone can assist me.
