My Insights

I want to setup a wireless LAN (connecting two or more computers together) at home. The biggest problem is that I only have one computer. So I decided to buy a crappy, old, second-hand laptop from ebay to solve the problem. Now since I have no clue as to what I am doing with the LAN crap, I don’t know what I should be looking for in the laptop. I don’t want to spend $300 on some laptop and then find out that it cannot be connected to a wireless network. Here are some of the technical specs that I am looking for in the laptop (not related to the network) for anybody who is interested: 128mb RAM, 6.4gb HDD, 233-450MHz, 15″ screen, CD-drive and a touchpad for the mouse instead of the little stub on the keyboard. Now I’m not sure what the laptop needs to have to connect to a wireless network so I’m a little confused now. Anybody have any suggestions?
