    Quick HELP pleazee!
    « on: April 01, 2008, 12:54:17 PM »
    Hello, I got this old IBM Thinkpad, and was wondering if it can get a wireless connection, it got no eternet port only dial-up, and I want it to be wireless, so I am going to install a wireless network card in it will it work ?
    It is 64MB of ram, 2gb, window 2000. Any help would be appreciated.
    Theres always.....always something to grab a hold on.

      If you got some way of installing a wireless network adapter it should work.
      Your options are probably going to be a USB or PCMCIA adapter.

          Yes you most likely need to install drivers.
          Win2k will most likely not have drivers for the wifi adapter.

              Yes drivers are usually available from whoever manufactured the adapter.
