    Wireless Internet

    Forgive my ignorance of this but just need to ask a few questions for people in the know.

    I just moved into a house that has wireless broadband and I was wondering what do I need to do from here to open up the internet on my laptop at home? At present I get a 'content not available, work offline?' box so I was wondering if I need to get an Eircom Disk or something so that the internet opens up for me?

    I realise in this day and age to not know this is practically a hanging offence too

    I'm far from an expert, but I did get eircom BB a few weeks ago. For each pc in the house I installed the disc, basically, it seems, because there's a security key to allow access.
    Other than that any relatively new laptop should have all the wireless gizmos as standard.

    Not considering the appauling coverage rates!
    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
