[QUOTE="Marg's Man, post: 87680, member: 4085"] Marg's Man here. As someone else said it depends on exactly what you have. Our laptops are the older models that had the dial up modem built in; newer ones use a fairly cheap USB peripheral. You say you have a router -this usually means a box (like an overgrown modem) that you use to connect to broadband internet. All Macs since about 1999 have ethernet built in which can be used to connect to the router. Unfortunately the precise connection details are specific to the service you using so I cannot be of much use. It's pretty well set and forget - that's what I've done - forgotten. You obviously have a functioning service; try contacting their help desk and ask their people to walk you through the set up. This is what I did. I took copious notes and, if something goes wrong I can usually reinvent the wheel. [/QUOTE]
