Question about a laptop

TryingToProve · 08-31-2009, 02:04 AM

I have a laptop that I got off e-bay. Here is the link:

It only has a place to put a phone line (dial-up connection).

What can I buy to make it work off my cable internet. I have a computer with cable internet & I even have a router. I just do not know what I need to do with this laptop since it has nothing I can put in the router for cable internet. Thank you very much in advance.

You'll probably be able to get a LAN PCMCIA card so you can plug an ethernet cable into it.
