I have a compaq fax card and an internet card and the wires that plug into them. I had a go with belkin wireless networking but that didn't seem to work. atm im trying to connect to my phone line but it keeps asking what number i want to connect to. please could you tell me how i connect to the internet and what i need as im only a young beginer.
ty,

You say it's a new laptop. I find that hard to believe if it's running Windows 2000. It must be at least 3 years old I would think.
I assume you are trying to connect to the internet. Does your telephone line have broadband installed? If not you will need to use a dial-up connection and whoever pays your telephone bill will need to give permission for you to do so as it will cost money. Do you have that permission?
I need an exact description of the cards you say you have. I presume they are PCMCIA cards which slot into the side of your laptop. What do they have written on the front of them?

Do you know that we're all in line for succession to the throne? Really?
Well, if forty-eight million, two hundred thousand, seven hundred and one people died I'd be Queen.
