Hey everyone, just a quick question ...

I am going overseas, and am taking a laptop, i want to be able to use the internet at my uncle's house, from his PC (not wireless internet), how can i connect my laptop to his internet connection?

With a normal LAN network cable, with a crosswire cable, or will i need to bring a hub and power supply aswell?

Cheers

That would depend on what he has there...

he has internet and an ethernet port (in mobo)

like how the whole setup is...

if it's a broadband connection to a router, it's most likely you just need a network cable

if where you're going overseas - the IT hardware is 'cheaper than in Australia' than you can ask us when you're over there \



most important thing would be to bring a convertor for your laptop AC power

Just get USB cable and use the MS internet sharing wizard...
Althought I have never tried it.
