How do I connect a dial up modem to my new laptop ?
i can't get broadband.
I have this new laptop, but I don't think it has a dial up modem as it says 'device missing'.
I have a dial up modem, but how do i connect it to the computer ?
Any help would be great. I am on aol and using my other comp at minute.
thanks
Update:just to add. It has a thing where you put the wire from lappy to wall, but i believe that is for broadband.
thanks

You can buy a USB modem. Look here: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&rlz=1C1CHNG_enU...
You're computer needs a modem. You didn't mention your model so we can't check. If the port on your computer is bigger than a phone plug you don't have one. If the phone plug fits you do have one and you just need a driver from the Mfg support site.
Things You'll Need for connection are:
Modem, built-in, USB or Serial port
Modem drivers
Phone line
Internet connection
Buy a modem that interfaces with USB or ethernet.
