Using laptop for internet overseas?
I have a laptop that has NOT been set up for wireless internet yet. Can I take it overseas (I live in California, will be traveling to France and Spain) and have access to internet? Is there anything I will need to do to set it up before I leave? Will I be able to access the internet in Europe if I've never accessed the internet here? Guide me! I am very technology-challenged! If the hotels provide wireless access, what will I need to do to access it through my laptop? Do I need to take anything aside from the laptop itself?

Answer 1 :
You shouldn't have any problems connecting wirelessly. The wireless-g/b/draft-n standards are pretty much global. Be aware, you will have to get an adapter to plug in your laptop. They use a different A/C current there. See my source for an example.

Well yea before you leave you can go to some place like BestBuy or a local Computer store and see if they can put a wireless cable in your computer. But it might cost a lil bit of money but its probly worth it. And by the way. Before you buy the lil wireless cable thing I would like call the place where you will be staying and than see if they got wireless internet just to make sure that you don't waste your money. Hope I helped! Bye!!
